Freehub body upgrade question

Hey folks,
Looking to upgrade my 2016 Specialized Hardrock (specs here) from the stock components. They're starting to show their age, and with the LBS having limited hours/availability due to COVID, I've been getting into tinkering with my bike at home.
I've got a good idea of my riding preferences, so am looking to do the following:
1) convert from 3x to 1x crankset
2) replace Suntour fork shocks with rigid carbon fork
3) would love to upgrade from 7-speed cassette to 10-speed cassette to have more gear range
Now the first two I'm set on, and have the parts and everything. My question is with the rear wheel hub:
Current hub body is 30mm, and from my understanding I need at least 35mm for 8/9/10 speed cassettes. Rear fork dropout spacing is 135mm, so I should be good for clearance there.
Can I replace my 7-speed freehub body with an 8/9/10-speed Freehub body? I've seen very little info on this, and mentions of having to re-dish the wheel. Is this accurate?

Your current MTB freehub body is a standard Shimano (34.9mm wide) HG freehub.
Your current freehub body is suitable for 7,8,9,10,11 and certain 12 speed MTB cassettes too, providing they are HG compatible.

This upgrade has no effect on the position of the rim within the axle and frame so re dishing is irrelevant when adding a higher speed cassette to a freehub.
In simple terms a 10 speed HG MTB cassette occupies the same available space on the freehub through narrower cog spacing and on newer wider range cassettes the big cog is slightly closer to the spokes.0
