Now the entire image is super. fuzzy (see attached image). What am I doing wrong and why does 2.10 seem to be behaving so much differently than 2.8??

I'm running into the same problem with both scale and rotate. What's really strange is that I was working on a drawing using GIMP 2.8 until very recently. When I was using 2.8 the amount of crispness that I lost when using the scale and rotate functions was within acceptable limits, for example I could rotate a particular line 4, 5 or maybe 6 times before the amount of blur became really noticeable. Yesterday I upgraded to GIMP 2.10 and the problem is MUCH more pronounced - even one rotation or just scaling down a small amount, say 10%, causes everything to become really, really fuzzy. I've attached an image to illustrate. Did you ever find a solution?
