I can't say that I've tried to do that directly (I'm unfortunately not at my steam deck this moment to test), however I've been disconnected from the game servers before whenever they have to apply a server-side fix (or during general server issues) and it allowed me to rejoin without relaunching the entire game. So I imagine an Internet drop from putting the deck to sleep would be treated the same and not require a relaunch, unless maybe you've put it to sleep for an extended period of time (such as 24 hours) causing an authentication token of sorts to expire.

So far I've only had to do a full relaunch whenever there is a new patch available (if you try to rejoin instantly it'll just tell you to update the game).

EHG has been putting a lot of focus on Deck related stuff, so I suspect even if it does cause a relaunch they'd be receptive to feedback to try to find a workaround on their side if possible.
