For charging speed you are right, the last 10% is at reduced rate. But, if I understand correctly, battery health is not depreciated with a 100% charge limit on Teslas with the newer battery composition that started sale in late 2022.

That's not universally true, both battery chemistries are in use and still being sold new (I believe the smaller batteries are using the new "100% safe" chemistry, while the long range variants are using the "keep the charge around 70-80%" chemistry.)

The car will alert you if it's not safe to charge frequently to 100% when you set the charge limit.
