Only in certain fields. For most interactions divide by 10 is far easier than divide by 12, and you'd end up with far, far more "eyeballed" measurements.

So no, as a human being, I'm fine with base 10.

Or you'd have to go all in and write numbers in base 12 too, then dividing by 12 would be easier...

Yes, I think we should be all in on base 12. 10 is just the arbitrary number of fingers we have. Poor choice! 12 is much more composite.
