You didn’t mention any baseline numbers of what you are seeing today with imaging on a 10GB network.
In my office we have a 10G core network with 1GbE going to the communication closets. I get between 13 and 15 GB/min (single unicast) transfer rates to modern target computers. On a well managed pure 1GbE network you should be seeing about 6GB/min (single unicast) transfer rates. I have not tested transfer rates on a pure 10GbE network, but I suspect the bottleneck will be in the disk controller on the server or the VM itself and not the network.
