Do not blame Gimp for the update. If you are using one of the latest ubuntu's they have a horrible automatic unattended update that is a disgrace. More like MS Windows than linux, not easy to turn 100% off.
I gave up on the flatpak Gimp when I moved to (k)ubuntu 18.04 Too limiting for my use, so no hands on advice.
Try this one https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/wiki/Tips-&-Tricks About half way down the page the section Downgrading.
As I recall there was a similar outcry when Gimp 2.10 was introduced, everyone wanting it to behave like Gimp 2.8
