Is Wine functional or useful without code or packages from third-party
sources ? 

No, so Wine violates:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packages_which_are_not_useful_without_external_bits

I think guidelines aren't express the idea correctly, is not allowed
packages that only are functional with nonfree third-party bits. 

PlayOnLinux, I run it some years ago and it was just a layer over wine
or better explained, PlayOnLinux bundle many wine versions and run a
program with a specific wine version and some custom configurations ,
which are known that runs well the program.

Conclusion if Wine could be on Fedora, a layer over wine also should be
allowed.

But you will have to unblundle all wine versions and use system wine
version ...
