If you really are using Gimp 2.10 then there is a plugin to warp a path made from text.

see: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-ofn-bend-path

...and in case you miss the link it is https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-path-tools/files/scripts/  
look for ofn-bend-path.zip dated 2023-01-30    There is  help file in the zip.

If using Gimp 3.0 then nothing at the moment, maybe possible using the gimp_gmic_qt plugin or even the old Filters -> Distorts -> Curve-bend
....but a better way is not Gimp - use Inkscape.

Edit: OK, using the Gimp:  Filters -> Distorts -> Curve Bend filter same for Gimp 2.10 or Gimp 3.0

Make the text - Stretch the text vertically - Apply the filter   example https://i.imgur.com/IAWGBcz.mp4

I was doing this recently with 2.10.X .
I didn't use the script rich recommended but it obviously works. This is what I did:

Make text > Gimp > Filters > Distorts > Curve bend
do lower curve
flip layer vertically > Filters > Distorts > Curve bend
use the same curve but on the upper side > flip layer back.

This was just an experiment but it works well Smile
