...but what about the phase jitter of the filter itself? While absolute
phase shift may not (or may?) be an issue I guess that passive filters
do have a phase jitter, too, due to mechanical vibration, tempco, and
what else.
Particularly at frequencies where the filter response has sharp slopes
(resonance or corner frequency) the phase variation (d phi / d f) is
quite big. Thus small frequency changes lead to considerable phase shift
variation what in turn should lead to phase jitter added to our holy
signal - what about overall ADEV?
Wouldn't it be better to not filter the 10 MHz signal when used solely
as a frequency standard?
I understand, that a high Q filter in a PLL reduces the phase noise of
that oscillator - until the jitter of the filter becomes important. Am I
wrong?

Actually, the opposite is true. Notches have the least phase
shift at the frequency being passed, which is what matters.
It is true that the phase shift at the notch frequency is
uncontrolled, but that is not important. The HP8662A
had an interesting PLL synthesizer where they had 10 notch
filters for the first 10 harmonics of the sampling frequencies.
This minimized phase shift within the loop bandwidth that
detracted from phase margin. I designers of the 8662
definitely know what they were doing.

Maybe a silly question but isnt the phase response of the filter
important in this application ?? notches have fairly vicious phase
shifts.

Subject: [time-nuts] Low-pass Filter for 5 and 10 MHz
A simple low pass filter to cut second and third harmonics from a 5
or 10
MHZ signal.
