I'm concerned with temperature and dew point during engine start only when less than 10C.

At that temp and lower (with a narrow temp/dew pt spread) there is a chance of localized icing (due to Bernoulli effect) and therefore anti-ice should be selected on.

In other cases (high ambient temps) there may be performance issues.

Sort of depends on local conditions and practices.
