5'10 is enough, I will only be 5'9 after 10 cm LL so what? As long as you end up closer to average height with LL it's worth it at the end of the day.

I have to go for 6 fkin inches to reach almost 6 feet which will be too much for me and for anyone IMO doing 6 inches. It's just way too much. Even 5 inches is way too much. 4.5 inches is the max and even that is too much. 3.5-4 inches total from double LL is enough for anybody at any starting height and will change the their lives. Short guy will become average and average will become tall, that's it. The first one will get rid of height disadvantage and the second one will get height halo. IMO the first one will get the most ROI escaping the height disadvantage and will be justified doing LL rather than the second one who has no disadvantage but tries to gain advantage with such a traumatic surgery. It's all about getting rid of disadvantage of shortness with LL, I see it that way.

Hopefully, you wouldn't feel the need to use shoelifts anymore after doing limb lengthening. That being said, it shouldn't be an issue if you want to do so. It might even be a bit of an aesthetic improvement after femur lengthening specifically since it will balance your femurs and tibias more.
