It's been fairly widely known for years now, that when Gimp 3.0 finally arrived, the old plugins from previous versions would be obsolete and non-functional.
While it is aggravating when you have a lot of favorite plugins/scripts that work with earlier versions but don't work with Gimp 3.0, they all probably will be eventually ported over. Patience is the key.
You can easily continue to use whatever 2.10 version of Gimp you are currently using until more people voluntarily decide to update plugins/scripts for Gimp 3.0. If anyone ever wanted to use more advanced features like non-destructive editing or layer effects, the application programming interface had to be changed and with that change, the previous plugins are incompatible.
