Unless I misunderstand what "require" means, then "require version-bootloader=b1c1-0.2-6374987" and "require version-baseband=g845-00107-200409-B-6382632" clearly explain why the boot image from QQ3A.200805.001 didn't work as desired. Now, compare the bootloader and baseband versions here with the versions shown in my fastboot screen (the screenshot posted in my question above).

The second crucial observation was, looking at the factory image for QQ3A.200805.001, in the same zip file inside it that contains the boot.img, there is also an android-info.txt file, highlighted in blue in the screenshot below. image, QP1A.191105.003, dated Nov 2019, was emerging as a candidate to try. Originally, I had just tried with the most recent factory image, which is QQ3A.200805.001, dated August 2020. The first 5 begin with "QP1A" where the rest begin with "QQ1A". However, there is an interesting difference in the naming convention for the first 5 of these factory images, compared to the rest. The first crucial observation was that there are something like 18 different different versions of the factory images for Pixel 3 XL for Android 10. Problem solved, my android 10 phone is working again! In answering my question, please note that I can't interact with the phone now through touch, so cannot check anything under "Settings" with the touch GUI, but can only see the fastboot info (see screenshot below) as well as anything I can access with adb shell (for example, any file in the phone I can check to find out the factory image version installed on the phone?)

Hence, my question, how can I know what is the exact version of the android 10 factory image installed on my Pixel 3L? Googling doesn't seem to help, as most pages talk about how to install factory images, not how to find out what is the version installed.
#PIXEL 3XL JUST CAUSE 4 IMAGES PATCH#
I would like to find out what is the actual factory image installed on the Pixel 3L, so I can try to patch the matching boot image. I'm guessing the problem is that I didn't know what was the factory image actually installed on my Pixel 3L, so I just guessed it was the latest, but the boot image from the latest might have some incompatibility with the actual factory image in the phone. Namely, it could boot, adb shell works, etc., but it no longer responds to touch, so can't be used except for adb shell. However, after fastboot flash of that patched boot image, it only worked partially. I tried to fix the Pixel 3XL by getting the latest android 10 factory image for it and patching the boot image with magisk. Unfortunately, I had mixed up my two phones in the fastboot flash step at first, and so then I ended up with the Pixel 3a with android 11 rooted again, but also with the Pixel 3XL stuck on boot, I guess because it had a wrong boot image (for pixel 3a actually) flashed into it. So, I patched the corresponding boot image for the latest android 11 factory image for pixel 3a, and fastboot flashed it, and it worked. Recently I found that it had lost root, presumably because android 11 is out of beta and the phone had upgraded to the latest android 11 and was not using the magisk-patched boot image anymore.

I had previously installed magisk on the Pixel 3a when android 11 was in beta. I have a Pixel 3XL on android 10 and a Pixel 3a on android 11.
