Already running FW 6.10.8 and can't see any benefit of "upgrading" to 6.10.10. I'm always leery about doing unnecessary FW updating as a risk-for-no-benefit scenario.

6.10.9 has a security fix - I didn't track down the CVE, but I am running it on several NAS (including an RN202). I do suggest taking that one.

6.10.10 is a mixed bag. It removes the ReadyCloud client, which does reduce the security attack surface. But it also removes the ability to upload deb files on the app page. There is a workaround - one poster discovered they could upload any deb using the firmware update control. And you can use ssh of course.

If you do use apt (or apps) you should also apply the config changes in post 37 here:

They are needed with all OS-6 firmware.

Don't think the current router supports IP reservation.

Most do, but sometimes it's hard to find. What you are doing is safe enough, but you do need to be careful to keep the same subnet and DHCP range configured when you switch routers. I like the convenience of managing all the addresses from one spot, so I go with with address reservation myself.
