I have put 10s of thousands of miles on 10 speed chains and have had no issues. I generally replace chains every 2500 miles no matter what. Saves the drive train in the long run and chains are cheap. 10x are a female dog to friction shift, but my indexed setup stays good for thousands of miles after initial stretch is adjusted for. I have also successfully reused 10x masterlinks several times. It is only the Shimano pins that are a one way street but have not used a Shimano chain in years.
40t cogs are the domain of 1x gearing IMO, unless it is an academic exercise or you are schlepping too much much gear. 22x40 - you would likely be able to walk as fast. And... why not use at triple at that point. Personally I like short cage derailers for dirt or none at all and don't go beyond 36 in a cassette. Regarding silver shifters - they are great if; you can't them them to work that is a user issue not a shifter issue.
