Does the Apple pen 2nd gen not work with the iPad 10 at all??
Here are the models the Apple Pencil 2 gen is compatible with. Unfortunately, your older iPad is not on the list. You can enter your serial number here to verify your exact model.

No.
NOT at all.
Both versions of the Pencil charge and pair differently.
You need to purchase and be using the older, original 1st gen Apple Pencil with an additional purchase of Apple's new $9 U.S.D. USB-C to Lightning adapter.

USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter - Apple
You need to/MUST purchase this new adapter to be able to use ( charge and pair ) the 1st gen Apple Pencil with the new base model 10th gen iPad.
You may end up purchasing an older “new” stock box 1st gen Apple Pencil that may still contain the older, original Lightning to Lightning adapter, inside of the box.
This is the wrong adapter to be using with the new base model 10th gen iPad.
This is why Apple is selling this new, proper $9 U.S.D. USB-C to Lightning adapter.
New stock boxes of 1st gen Apple Pencils are, supposedly, being reported as shipping with this newer USB-C to Lightnng Apple Pencil charging/pairing adapter, presently, but old “new” stock boxes of 1st gen Apple Pencils are still packaged with the older Lightning to Lightning Apple Pencil charging/pairing adapter.
That older adapter will NOT work with the new base model 10th gen iPad with a USB-C port.
If you purchased the actual $9 USB-C to Lightning adapter, to pair and charge your 1st gen Pencil to the iPad, your charge cable needs to be connected by plugging in your iPad's USB-C to USB-C charging cable into the iPad and plug the USB-C end of the Adapter into the loose/free USB-C end of the cable and then plug the Apple Pencil into the Lightning end of the adapter.
To charge the 1st gen Pencil away from the iPad, plug your charging cable into the Apple power/charging block, take the other loose/free end of the USB-C cable, plug that USB-C end of the adapter into the loose end of your USB-C charged cable and then plug your 1st gen Pencil into the Lightning end of this adapter.
Best of Luck to You!
That iPad model will only work with the first generation pencils. Click here for the complete compatibility list.
