My own experience is that MinGW-w64/MSYS2 does not work on wine
because of several wine bugs which have not been addressed for a
number of years.  However, I have heard (I have no personal experience
with wine-staging) that there has been some attempt to fix those wine
bugs on wine-staging to the point where MinGW-w64/MSYS2 mostly works
on that platform.  (I assume you already know this, but for others
here I want to emphasize that wine-staging is not wine.) See
<https://github.com/TeaCI/tea-ci/wiki/Msys2-on-Wine> for the latest
directions on how to install MingGW-w64/MSYS2 on wine-staging.  Note
in particular that you must build and use the latest wine-staging so
some older version from Debian will likely not work at all.
