Unlike El g and Komen, He is adequately trained though. We're talking about a guy who runs double threshold like three times per week. He literally lives on this pace range. It's in his bloodline.
With an ounce of deduction, we can easily come to the conclusion that he will destroy everyone in a 10k just like what he has been doing in the 5k.
If you’re a 7:17 guy, pretty much everything over 26:30 should feel like a jog. But you know what they say, depends on when the race is and if someone might show up to your house in the weeks/days leading up.

I get it, the best 10k runner ever is a guy who never ran it.
I don't see him losing in a race > 27 mins. Not sure how he would've fared this year with the fast pace - he did beat Aregawi by 4 seconds in a 3k but I don't think he would've beat him this year in a 10k.
I don't expect next year to be fast, so in the off chance he does contest he might just win the gold since Cheptegei isn't around anymore.
He blew everyone out of the door in the 5k. Look at the gap between him and the rest of the world in Paris. You can't possibly say he can't beat guys like Aregawi and Cheptegei (who btw ducked the 5k because of him I'm convinced) even in a 10k.

someone already said he ran 27:54, destroying the competition at 19 in bad conditions and we all know how much stronger he has become this five years.
That is not how it works. The way his training is set up, that 5 second advantage in the 1500 will ALWAYS help him and give him the advantage 3k-10k. That's the whole purpose of him even doing it. And that's why he set the 2000, 3000, and 2 mile WR's and why he's won the last 3 global 5000's. I just don't understand this line of thinking.
Assuming Cheptegei can run about 3:31, Ingebrigtsen loses most of his 5 second advantage by 5000m, which means he is slowing down at a faster rate as the distance is increased. There is no way for Ingebrigtsen to change that trend and the crossover will be not long after 5000m.

It's certainly possible but nothing suggests he'd be a lock. Who won the 1976 olympic 10,000 the 3000 world record holder Brendan Foster or Viren? Foster didn't even beat Lopes. You can't annoint Jakob yet, let's see him in a few competitions. History has often shown that the faster 3000 runner doesn't necessarily win the 10000.

no offence, but none of the people you mentioned are near Jakob's caliber. Their training I suppose was also drastically different from Jakob who as I said has been living on threshold training which is exactly the focus of a 10k.
Anyway, we'll see when Jingy finally moves up or decides to attack the 10k WR.
