Not per https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xsane/c/2cc8bf4 (Drop GIMP plugin for Fedora >= 41, 2024-10-13) and the follow-up which fixes the reversed values in that commit.
I would guess that's because gimp-3.x and the xsane-gimp plugin don't play well together or, more optimistically, that it's somehow not actually needed anymore. But I don't use xsane and haven't done more than poke the package history quickly.
Yeah, I had a bit more of a poke round and:

Indicates the package will be unavailable until this upstream issue is handled: https://gitlab.com/sane-project/frontend/xsane/-/issues/66 and that CLI wrapped you mentioned is listed as a mitigation too.
