Not going to lie...I like stand-ups, but I am an extrovert. I also like them as a full time remote because it's the only way I regularly see my team. As long as it doesn't interrupt people. 10am is to late if the work day starts at 8:30am. About 45 minutes after the "beginning" of the day is about as long as can be tolerated. Give people time to arrive, account for traffic, get coffee, check some email, quick stand-up with the team and then get to it. At the same time, there's not a point where I think stand-ups encourage prioritizing features over tech debt. Usually, that comes from sprints themselves and the planning around sprints. Stand-up shouldn't be anything more than a quick "how's it going" for the team. I would have no argument as a developer working under this unless the quarterly goals were out of control. What you're describing is basically Kanban. I agree with almost every word.
