It depends on how rigorous your fidelity/management/calibration demands are. "Ten-bit" is the least of your worries in comparison, considering the difference between accuracy and precision. Sort of like bombing *near* a target and causing no damage. There are ways of compensating the signal path for simulating a grade monitor, and this is relevant for those who are not required to adhere to any international standards or commercial delivery. You can use a graphics display for non-critical reference, or if you are exclusively developing content for a specific display. I'm in that situation now -- non-broadcast single-point use and I'm getting the actual monitor that will be used, so in the true sense of display-reference, the grade will be specifically for that one device. Lord knows what it's calibrated for or how the exhibitor is going to choose a display mode.
Resolve does have a "cinema display" mode for filling the screen, but only as a preview on the UI and the "second monitor" still only is extra real estate for timeline and scopes...
The UI preview was not originally how the application was intended to be used... the external managed and calibrated SDI/HDMI image path is still the one that eliminates the lion's share of landmines inside of an OS-managed Color system.
