I usually go for a layer mask and how to create one is really often a matter of preference.
It is worth revisiting the gmic plugin. The Windows installer works well, puts the files where they are supposed to be.
For an initial mask, the gmic interactive foreground extract can get a reasonable result and usually quick, although in this case the lettering makes a bit more work. Still only a couple of minutes.

Then as a starting point for more comprehensive touch-up / new background.
