I got my 10 today after waiting since it was released. On thing that got me was the ugly NFC icon, it is horrible!
Right bare with me...
You need a working ADB setup
Keep tapping build number until you're told you're a developer.
Plug your phone into your computer and open command prompt in your ADB folder. Type:
You should see your device show up. Following this type
For example, if you want to get rid of the NFC icon and the Bluetooth icon your command would look like this:
Note the lack of space between the NFC and Bluetooth commands.

Omar302 reminded me that you can hide other status bar icons using this method. This is a (likely incomplete) list of icons

Code:
Name Settings Description
cast Cast
hotspot Hotspot
bluetooth Bluetooth
zen Do not disturb
alarm_clock Alarm
managed_profile Work profile
wifi Wi-Fi
ethernet Ethernet
mobile Cellular Data
airplane Airplane Mode
One more thing worth noting:
Note: Hiding an icon will cause the other icons to re-appear, so you will need to make the command to hide all your iccons with one command. Separate names of the icons with a comma ",".
So if you are tweaking the status bar one by one, keep a copy of your command in notepad
