It is a good point you bring up there. Might help others.
Used to be Gimp 2.9.3 (& earlier 2.9.5) defaulted to a Gimp 2.8 Save mode with a warning for non-compatibility.
Since all those layer modes came in, that is now reversed. Default is Gimp 2.9.x format Save an image and it is not usually backward compatible with Gimp 2.8
For compatibility everything has to be set to Legacy mode. Even a single Default layer will force the Save to Gimp 2.9 format. Not too easy to determine layer modes without visiting each layer. Maybe a 'wish' to add an indicator required.

So users, beware if you need your Gimp files to open in Gimp 2.8
Open a backward compatible xcf file in Krita? https://i.imgur.com/uRpMMFm.jpg I use it so little that I doubt if I can tell any difference between xcf/psd, but a valid point about the improved psd format.
