I’ve seen some vlans hit 1mbit BUM filters, I think we had about 800 users on that one. To saturate a 10m link would require a help of a lot of broadcast traffic.

100m is fine. 10m is fine but I can’t think of anything that negotiates 10m other than maybe WOL (I don’t use it enough to be sure from memory).

If I didn ahve something esoteric it would be on a specialised vlan anyway.

10m is extended reach copper, you can do about triple the range of 100m with approximately the same transceiver analog prowess.
