Putting aside the security issues and answering youor questions directly:
Yes I am using Win 10 for computer audio (running JRiver 21).
Yes I also use Win 10 on my primary computer.
What do I think? MS keep adding features via upgrades that run in the background so it is a bit of a moving target. Of course they don't actually tell you what they have added, you just stumble upon them. As is known you can't switch off auto upgrades in Win 10 although there is a work round using settings and switching wi-fi to metered.
For audio use believe that I am not the only user to have noticed an improvement in SQ compared to 8.1.

I upgraded a tablet that I use solely for web surfing and reading PDFs. It had been running Windows 8 and auto updates are fine for my purposes on this machine, as it does nothing really important and no real time (e.g. audio) stuff.
I am not going to upgrade my Windows 7 main computer to Windows 10, unless M$ provides a supported (not work-around) method of turning off updates. I do not want my system slowing down or going on holiday because some incompetent programmers at M$ made a boo-boo. I have no problem if downloads can be confined to the middle of the night, and results in a waving flag on the task bar, but I do not want any actual upgrades taking place beneath the sheets.

There is also a problem with older graphics cards such as the AMD 3 series (used because of fanless). None of the posted drivers work and the MS graphics driver does not support 1920x1080 screens.
W8.1 just finds the proper driver on Win update but not W10.

There was a lengthy video posted by an inmate (Mercman maybe) that showed MS developers discussing a lengthy list of features and improvements made in Windows 10. One of the developers from MS talked about improvements made in support of multimedia and audio. He discussed latency and other issues pertinent to pro audio/video applications.
