I'm not aware of a tool that will convert a SharePoint list template to a PnP provisioning template but you could create a PnP provisioning template from an existing list using Export-PnPListToProvisioningTemplate.

Unfortunately this won't work with SharePoint 2010 (I've verified). As you can see in the link you've provided:
Applies to: SharePoint Server 2013, SharePoint Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2019, SharePoint OnlineFeb 1, 2021 at 18:19 -
You'll need to migrate the list to SharePoint Online or a newer version and then use the cmdlet. Presumably you are already in the process of migration to a newer version, since you're attempting to use the provisioning engine? Feb 1, 2021 at 20:50

The question itself is regarding the migration. What other way of migration are you thinking of? Feb 2, 2021 at 8:14

As mentioned above, you will need to migrate the list that you wish to create a template from to a newer version of SharePoint in order to use the Export-PnPListToProvisioningTemplate cmdlet Feb 2, 2021 at 9:34
