"You'll be able to configure the setting via Windows Autopilot and Windows Autopilot device preparation" 

Via what function, the profile configuration?
Will this update occur after User ESP or Autopilot Prep completes or right before?
Does the process count against User ESP timings if the former?

Is Windows 10 support not listed because it'll be EOL?

I am not an Microsoft employee. Answers are based on the blog post and experience so far.

  • Via what function, the profile configuration?

Probably yes. Exisiting WUfB profile settings (probably also Autopatch groups) will also apply.

  • Will this update occur after User ESP or Autopilot Prep completes or right before?

My guess is it will run through the device setup. It should go through after enrolling in to Intune so update policies can apply.

  • Does the process count against User ESP timings if the former?

Most likely yes. 

  • Is Windows 10 support not listed because it'll be EOL?

Yes. Windows 10 is marked to end support in October.
