GEGL Effects is a text styling, outlining and layer effects engine for GIMP. - The latest version is specialized for GIMP 3 RC1 to prevent clipping of text while editing non-destructive text. Released March 11th 2024 and is intended for GIMP 3 RC1+ users.
The previous July 22 2023 release has all the same features but with text clipping and is good enough for GIMP 2.10 users .

This filter combines multiple operations of mine in one. To do things like stroke, shadow/glow and an optional bevel with GEGL.
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Eff ... using-GEGLOn Windows and Mac you have to compile. On Linux just put the .so files in /gegl-0.4/plugins then open Gimp and go to GEGL Operations and select GEGL Effects. BTW this will overwrite my existing custom GEGL filters (if you have them) but that is okay.
