I just wanted to add a temporary workaround for those who stumbled upon
this bug report, building off Kevin Barry(barryk)'s post and Archwiki's
Gimp 2.10 section from the HiDPI article
(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI#Gimp_2.10)

I'm using a 15.6" 4k screen, so you should adjust your values to best
work for your case.

I followed these steps from archwiki:

"To fix toolbar icon sizes, update Preferences->Interface->Icon
Theme->Custom icon size to huge or other value (This is the bug here--
this bit doesn't work as intended. For now move the scale up to huge and
get to the next section)

If menu fonts are still too small you can update an existing theme by
copying it from /usr/share/gimp/2.0/themes into
~/.config/GIMP/2.10/themes/ and changing gtk-font-name and font_name in
gtkrc into something bigger like Sans 16. Then select the new theme from
Preferences > Interface > Theme. When copying make sure to rename the
new directory into something different from the original name (example
Dark > DarkHighDPI)"

Once you've made the theme copy, paste the edits that Kevin Barry has
proposed into the ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/themes/DarkHighDPI/gtkrc text file
in the # Set GTK settings section, but with the following values:

gtk-icon-sizes="gtk-menu=48,48:
gtk-button=48,48:
gtk-small-toolbar=48,48:

gtk-dnd=48,48:
gtk-dialog=48,48"

In my case of a 4k 15.6" screen, changing the font size to 16 and the
various gtk sizes to 48,48 worked to make the huge setting the biggest.
If you have a different ppi, try playing with multiples of 16 and see if
you get a setting that works for you. The benefit of this approach over
Kevin Barry's above approach is that no other application is affected
