Turbos take a ton of abuse. They spin at like 80k-100k RPM, absorb a ton of heat and have to generate anywhere from 25-40 PSI of boost (or more). If you got 10k hours out of a turbo I'd say you did well.

My turbo shaft bent bc of too much backpressure. I replaced the muffler when I installed new turbo.
Although the fins on the turbo were scraping against the housing, I was still able to drive to 2 different shops in Fontana when it happened.Rideandrepair and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -

It is best to idle for 7 to 10 minutes before shutting the truck down but many who come off the highway and take their time to a t/s, most likely won't need much cool down time.
