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

The extra 10 mm should cause no problem. You want to be sure the stem's expander is below the threaded length but spacers above the headset's top race and below the locknut are fine. I have one bike with a "too long" threaded steerer and have 20 mm of spacers between the top race and locknut and it works just fine.
