It looks like 10ab is here to stay.
Apparently net promoter scores show high customer satisfaction with the product but will evaluate in the next few years if adjustments are needed.

Philippine Airlines president Richard Nuttall says the airline’s decision to fit the A350s with 10-abreast configuration is proving successful with customers.
“The 10-abreast is going very, very well,” he says. “Passengers love it, they also love the seat pitch.”
He stresses that the carrier operates 15h sectors with the jet, from Manila to New York, and has strong net promotor scores in the economy-class cabin.
“At the moment, we’re not particularly looking to change the configuration,” he says. “Obviously, we’ve got two or three years to see how the market develops, to see if we want to tweak it.”
Well, they could always try fielding it in SFO, for a start.
Fortunately, currently operating it in uncontested market is no brainer. Nuttall is also stuck with BOD decision configuring the first batch of 35k with 10ab. The second batches configuration however could change dramatically, starting next year.
