Wort chiller length, will 30 feet work for a 10 gallon batch?

I just bought 30 feet (~10m) of 3/8'' (9.5mm) copper tube, and before coiling it, I would like to get advice if it will work for a 10 gal (~50l) batch, what I'm asking for is if anyone has had experience cooling 10 gal(~50l) batches with a 25 or 30 feet chiller (I still can go back to the store -which is far away from home- and buy some more tube)

This answer from @BobTheAverage seems to say 30 feet would be ok: Immersion wort chiller length

It will always work, the difference is how much time we save or not.

My 25' 1/4" wort chiller works better than I expected, 15 minutes to cool 5 gallons. Your 30' 3/8" should work very well, 15 to 20 minutes maximum I would guess.
