Do 68010 processors just need to be shoved in for them to work? I have an Amiga 2000 and for CPU speed, this is the only upgrade I know of, found them for about 15 bucks too, so I may buy one.

Or do I need to do some actual work to get it running, and benefit from it?

Don't quote me but I believe you'll need to change the clock crystal to get 10MHz. out of the 010.

It would be a neet thing to do. Make sure you get a good IC puller. Stick the thing in and experiment with it. If everything seems to work ok then get a new crystal to get even more speed. There may even be a way to add a switch so that you can change from 8MHz (is it 8?... I thought it was 8 not 7) to 10 MHz. Anyway, to change the crystal you'll need a "solder sucker" and an iron. Fun Fun Fun! Check Aminet for better instructions.
