ITKGDCMImageIO doesn’t read sequences for metadata dictionary, s. [here](https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK/blob/60924a512a38c65b2050ad905fd94b11541d0e10/Modules/IO/GDCM/src/itkGDCMImageIO.cxx#L686) and [here](https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITK/blob/60924a512a38c65b2050ad905fd94b11541d0e10/Modules/IO/GDCM/src/itkGDCMImageIO.cxx#L693). It was never supported and already mentioned several times, e.g. the [topic](https://discourse.itk.org/t/unable-to-get-dicom-sq-tags-from-simpleitk-series-reader-metadata-keys/2321).
