My sense from inspecting the ci.debian.net results for mdanalysis is
also that the timeout is unrelated to the matplotlib-3.10 update --
the same timeout (at approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes) seems to
occur regardless of whether the exp/mpl-3.10 package is pinned into
the build -- and in fact, checking again now, the timeout failure
seems to occur for both amd64 and arm64.  I wonder if it is a
particular test case that sometimes gets stuck.

In theory, I'd like to say: let's do the upgrade if we can -- I think
users would generally be happy to have a (much) fresher version
available, and although there's an effort/energy cost to upgrading,
that effort cost could also potentially increase if we delay the
upgrade to a later date...

...however: I'm not a Debian maintainer/developer (nor deb-python team
member), only an eager contributor.  I do intend to become a Debian
project member at some point (possibly after improving my email
etiquette and finding a more suitable laptop), but until then I can't
really promise to contribute much assistance, so my opinions on this
should be taken with a grain of salt!

Cheers,
James
