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:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2323739
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2311817

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.
