RomM sounds like a much better option.

Another vote for RomM here. Basically turned my archives into a self hosted GoG

Can RoMM catalogue recent PC games?

Yes.

Primary file will be whatever installer/iso. Supplementary stuff is a bit awkward but can be put in, and then it pulls metadata from (primarily) IGDB and Mobygames

What you're not going to pull off is a deeply automated import of PC stuff in the way you can throw a whole ROM library at it and let the scan work.
