I just recently got the 100W amp for my K3, so most of my
operation has been at 12 watts and below. In looking through my
log, the vast majority of my 10M contacts are QRP, or 5 watts. I
use a home-brew vertical with a window screen ground plain on
the roof of my single story house for an antenna.
When I played in the ARRL 10M contest QRP, I logged 22 states
along with Mexico, NIcaragua, and Columbia in what wasn't a
really serious contest effort.
So yes, you can have a lot of fun with 10 watts on 10 meters.

I was considering pairing it with a Buddipole antenna, as my
development doesn't allow permanent antennas. While I use the
KX3 at home, will I get decent range with the 10 watt output?
