Price of the part is one thing to consider, yes. However, at what design cost? Given the lack of documentation are you confident you can even solve this in this way with MAX 10?

Given the small size of you device/design, can you not test the design enough to ensure you never need to change it? If you end up having to support remote upgrade in the manner Altera intend for this device (UART/I2C), you're going to increase the complexity of your design enormously and use up a lot of resources. You'll probably end up needing a larger, more expensive, part...
