I just updated.
The charging issues I started experiencing with the 10.0 update were apparently due to some crud in my iPad's Lightening port (though it was not visually apparent). A given cable would work only if plugged into a sufficiently powerful power adapter, or only when the plug was in one of the two normally symmetric orientations. I used one of those tiny ortho brushes in the port and cleaned the contacts on the cables, things seem back to normal.
The 'spotlight' issues have gone away and that return to normalcy did not appear to correlate with any software update.
I don't remember having any other issues, so I'm back to neutral on iOS 10. I have still not discovered any new features that are even trivially or potentially important to me.
Meanwhile it seems most of my annoyances are with app developers who fail to implement Split View or keyboard shortcuts that would make it nicer to use their apps on an iPad (Amazon for example).
