Does it look like anything here?

  Debian Bug report logs: Bugs in package terminator
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=terminator

Not sure what that might mean. Which log files did you examine?

Have you tried to start terminator from a different terminal. Say,
from a VT, like tty3 or something?

  [do Ctl + Alt + F3]
  Debian GNU/Linux 10 yourhostnamehere tty3

  yourhostnamehere login: [log in with username/passwd]

  $ env DISPLAY=:0 terminator --debug # or whatever DISPLAY has your desktop

Maybe you can get some informative output this way.

There is a version (1.92-1~bpo10+1) in buster-backports. If you aren't
using it already, you could install the backport and see if it has the
same problem. Collect them all.
