One of the notable hurdles in making contributed modules compatible with Drupal 10 was maintaining support for Drupal 9.5. As this version remains in security support, compatibility becomes crucial. The challenge lies in dealing with deprecated code removed in Drupal 10, a point highlighted by Matt Glaman in his insightful blog post.

For those interested in navigating these challenges, Glaman recommends checking out his talk from MidCamp this year – "Lessons Learned from Helping Port the Top Contrib Projects to Drupal 10."

In a recent development, Drupal 10.1.3 has released a new utility class aimed at simplifying compatibility across multiple Drupal core versions while addressing deprecated code. The new class, \Drupal\Component\Utility\DeprecationHelper, and its method, backwardsCompatibleCall, enable conditional code execution based on the current Drupal core version.
