OP: you asked if switching to 1x10 was worth it. Well, some folks think it is not. Now that I know your cranks can’t be converted, I am also in that camp.
But none of us know how badly YOU want it. It it is something you are dying to have, then do it. Personally, I think it is an improvement, but by no means a game changer.
Also what the bike is DOES matter in that calculation. The reason is that one needs to prioritize upgrades. And in your case I would do the fork before the drivetrain.
