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

Those torque recommendations are maximums, not requirements, and the carbon fork steerer takes precedence so follow and do not exceed it's recommendation. That said, even 5 N-m is more than enough to keep the stem from slipping and that's all you need to accomplish.
