I've been shooting a 4x10 box-camera (Canham) with a 90XL for about 10 years now. If one wanted a very wide view this is the setup to get. For focal lengths of 300mm or greater I would think that a cropped 8x10 would be better overall. At a certain point (shorter focal lengths), economizing by shooting 4x10 cropped from 8x10 would n0t make sense to me.
I've been of late shooting 5x8 and 4x10 on a 65 year old Deardorff. I didnt have the wooden back dividers so I just made some out of matt board. They work just fine. I really like this setup. The only thing I would like better is if the Deardorff had shift so I could use the center of the lens circle. This is a great way to photograph.... 3 formats in one. All very useful.
