Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

That depends on your rear derailleur. Most Shimano road rear derailleurs have a maximum cog rating of about 27T but you can often exceed it somewhat. You will probably need a new chain because your current one is probably not long enough. BTW, can you really use a 53x11 high gear or will you effectively have a 7-speed cassette?
