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

What are your current components? What crank and derailleurs? "Upgrading" to 10 speed is relatively straight forward but not real cheap as you would need at a minimum new shifters, cassette and chain if you were willing to keep the current triple crank and derailleurs. Going to 11-speed is a lot more expensive as you would need a new rear wheel, new derailleurs and probably a new crank as well as all of the above.

Perhaps all you really need are a new 9-speed cassette and chain and both are still readily available
