I went the other way, used to use a flatpak and had to side-load lots of lib files into the flatpak folders just to get a few plugins working. Never managed to get xsane working. Used a regular Gimp 2.8 for scanning. Now using kubuntu 18.04 and Gimp 2.10.x from the PPA The installation is much less fraught than before. I put some notes here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Gimp-2-10-10-and-Ubuntu-18-04-LTS but at the end of the day, it is what you are comfortable with.
