Is there a map somewhere that simulates various coastline changes based on sea level rise?

Ex: the 10 meters mentioned above

Good question, there are several, but the one I've played with is this tool from the NOAA: https://coast.noaa.gov/slr/

I've used this tool to inform my decisions with regard to planning for my climate mitigation strategy.

A better question would be, is there a map that shows the extended inland reach of the more violent storms that we will get with a warmer atmosphere?

Planning on the basis of the ocean being a mill-pond won't go very well.

Both are important. New York City becoming an oyster bed is a catastrophic migration crisis waiting to happen.
