KabyLake can support HEVC-10 bit on Linux, but not yet in kodi. Mesa / Drm and kodi vaapi changes need to happen - but we can do that our own - nothing is holding us off.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

I hate to have to return the 1050 if I can avoid it. Seems like it will be hit or miss when/if support will happen. It also doesn't help that I dislike Windows in general and want to try and avoid using it when possible. How is AMD's support currently?

For AMD, intel, even nvidia you can implement it yourself. All opensource, including kodi. No need to return anything. You have it in your own hands.

Last weekend I submitted a patch to Linux kernel. This is the first required step. I would like to get some feedback from the maintainers before going further.

Apollo Lake, Kabilake works - all other intel hw has NO hw acceleration support for hevc10 bit.

nvidia vdpau is dead on linux they don't develop it anymore - there is no hevc-10 bit API support. There is another big fat proprietary lib that ffmpeg supports for newer nvidia generations. Surface sharing is done with OpenCL ...
