EQ10Q and similar plugin UIs that still rely on GTK2 as UI are no longer supported:

Gtk2 plugin support was removed in Ardour 8.4.

Plugin developers have been notified in 2012 that this will happen; and in 2019 support was officially deprecated.
Most plugin UIs have meanwhile been migrated..

As workaround to get a few more years you can try a bridge: https://discourse.ardour.org/t/a-compatibility-pack-for-calf-plugins-to-work-in-ardour-8-6/11059
