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

That kind of rub when in the small ring and smaller few cogs is common particularly with compact 50/34 gearing but even with 53/39 cranks on a bike with short chainstays. Only sure cure is to avoid those gears. You can't space out a Hollowtech II crank like yours very much since the non-drive side spindle would bee too short for full spline engagement.
