>Will any derailleur span through the 10 speed cassette range in friction mode?  Im not asking about whether or not it is difficult or possible to shift. I want to know if it will be able to move between the largest and lowest cog. Wondering if limit screws will interfere with the range.

"In friction mode?" If you mean using friction shifters, like bar end
shifters, with a 10 speed cassette, why not? the distance from the
small to large cog is the same as on a 9 speed cassette. It is the
distance between the cogs that is different.

And, yes friction shifters will certainly shift 10 speeds very well.
In fact with friction shifters I can switch wheels, one with a 9 speed
cassette and one with a 10 speed cassette and not have to make any
adjustments at all. No change in limit stops whatsoever.
