Which PS plugin did you upgrade ?
The background
You can run some old PS .8bf plugins using an equally ancient Gimp plugin PSPI You can get the plugin here: https://www.gimpscripts.net/2020/09/pspi-107win32.html
I did try this just recently in a Win10 / Gimp 2.10.28 and providing the plugin is compatible (pspi is 32 bit and the .8bf are to suit) and it still works.
You might find some suitable filters from the links here. https://www.lifewire.com/free-photoshop-...ns-1358111
Gimp is not the only application for these old filters, Irfanview and the old Win XnView can also run them.
If you are thinking about something a bit more recent like the (monster that is) Nik Collection then this is really a stand-alone application with a .8bf PS launcher. Then easiest way is install the Partha version of Gimp, together with the large Nik application files.. The Partha version contains the Gimp plugin launcher. Last time I tried I found Nik very flakey.
Often no need to use pspi, you can usually get the same effect from one of the 570 filters using the gimp_gmic_qt plugin.
