Certainly not the same as Windows-click-n-wish. I use kubuntu 20.04 / Gimp 2.10.30 / Brother MFC-J825DW / wireless connection so there is some relevance here.
I am about ready to pack in for the day, so until next time, a couple of things.
The location of the Gimp 2.10 user profile is ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/ (~ = your home directory) providing it is a regular Gimp install. It is different if you have a flatpak or a snap installation. Whatever you have you can check using in Gimp Edit -> Preferences -> Folders where the paths are shown as:
If the path is not similar, then you have a flatpak or a snap Gimp version. These are sandboxed and xsane does not work. Let us know what you have and maybe / maybe-not able to help.

Back to the scanner. You installed the drivers using the Brother debian packages ? Not 100% straight forward, also depends if you use a wireless connection or USB
------------
With SANE installed and XSANE installed running from a terminal do you get this
Even if xsane does not find the scanner you should get that showing xsane works.
