ICAO designators are primarily for ATC purpose, to distinguise between variants with significantly differing performance. Ryanair and other LCCs putting 8 extra seats in their newer 737-8s isn't something that ATC will care about.
the 737-MAX 10 if it ever flies, will be a nomenclature quandary...
No more of a quandary than the 787-10 posed. The Max 10 will be B3XM - those who remember their Roman numerals will understand why.
