I've had precisely one problem that might have been E10 related - a fuel tank seal on a Toro/Suzuki mower. Replaced with Viton and had no issues.
Both my gas vehicles run fine, even though I may not drive them for months at a time.
All my small engines run fine. Anything modern built is designed to handle E10, small engine or otherwise.
I do notice E10 goes bad faster. Keep fresh fuel in it and no issues at all. Hence my desire to use non-E gas in my small engines, the generators especially may sit for 10 months at a time. I still haven't had an issue, shut off the fuel or drain the tank and run it dry for storage.
I know E10 gets a bad rap, but none of it matches my experience. I even finally convinced my dad to quit using "gas line antifreeze" - just alcohol. His little bottle of wonder stuff was taking the fuel from E10 to E10.01.
