Comment (by DavidAnderson):

 Use a plugin like WP Crontrol to examine the list of scheduled tasks
 running on your site, and how often they run. You can then run the maths
 to see how often you need a cron task to run to service them all on your
 specific site. It's likely you'll find that 10 minutes is not often
 enough.

 Any hosting company that discourages running one more often than 30
 minutes has crossed well over the line into customer-hostile - I say this
 as someone who's run a hosting company, not as a freeloader who thinks
 resources don't cost money. If someone's infrastructure can't process the
 equivalent of an HTTP request every few minutes on a website and you have
 to ask people to cut down to one HTTP request per half an hour, you're
 effectively saying either "our platform really stinks and is about to fall
 over if any websites are used" or "we have no sense of proportion",
 neither of which is a good sound from someone you're entrusting with the
 running of a website that matters in any way.
