10-speed chain on older drivetrains

As 10-speed gear has now taken a backseat and is priced accordingly are there any downsides to using 10-speed chains on 5, 6. 7, 8, or 9-speed clusters? Or even on a 3/32" SS setup? It would really simplify the garage inventory to have one type and not need a magnifying glass to check link markings. I also have the impression that the available 7,8-speed chains are not of the same quality as currently made stuff.
