if you want to migrate from Debian 8 to Debian 10 you must do two 
migration: first from Debian 8 to Debian 9 and then from Debian 9 to 
Debian 10

it is very hard to say something.
You must, at least, look at your logs and report if there are some 
wanings/errors when you do it. Also you can look at bugs on the program 
you are using for having virtual desktop (note that bugs can be closed 
after Buster release and so you don't have a patch for them in Buster).

If you have migrated from Debian 8 directory to Debian 10 you can have 
problems.

searching the package it seem that it was remove from the actual 
oldstable (Buster)
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=ecryptfs&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

you can try to understand why from here:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ecryptfs-utils

and, if I don't mistake the answers is here:
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1012612/ecryptfs-utils-removed-from-testing/
Bug #765854: ecryptfs-utils: Private directory not automatically 
unmounted anymore on logout


> Is there any other way to encrypt a directory?

probably fscrypt?
https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=buster&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=fscrypt

but what you use for making regexp?
What regexp do not work anymore?

> 4. Is there any way to install the old "Jessie"?

https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/

note that you don't have anymore security update so it is better to 
install a more recent Debian version

the Jessie installer can be found here:
https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/debian-installer/

As I wrote it is best you write to a Debian user mailing-list to ask 
these questions, for example debian-user in English:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/
or you can select one in another language:
https://lists.debian.org/users.html
