There are 3 AV1 profiles (Main, High and Professional) and all define a mandatory 10-bit support. From that I think it's a good chance there will be HW 10-bit support from the beginning. Of course HW manufacturers still can disappoint.
VP9 has 10-bit support only from profile 2 on, where profile 0 and 1 are 8-bit only, which is why 10-bit HW support is less common.
