Keep in mind that very few stations will change their protopath when they see a new digipeater call sign as they travel. We mostly use the wideN-N path and depend on active stations within range to digipeat our signals.
Having your fill in station beacon every 10 minutes or even more often seems to me to be more of an ego issue. Some users are compelled to be seen, beaconing at absurdly shorty intervals and clogging the air with unneeded signals.
I have my fill in digi set to beacon once per hour with no repeating, once every three hours with wide1-1, and only once in eight hours with a wide2-2. And those settings have absolutely no effect on which passing travelers have their APRS beacons digipeated. That is governed by the travelers protopath.

but setting at 10 minutes would increase the changes of stations coming into your area of knowing you were there.
