I say go, unless you feel that your current status is going to make you feel inferior. That's unlikely, though because even ten years later, a lot of the people haven't really settled into their ultimate lifestyle, but many of them are doing interesting things. At my 10th and 20th, I pretty much stayed up all night talking to people, some of whom I hardly knew when we were in high school. It was a lot of fun.
There were VERY few people trying to act superior, and it actually felt good to avoid them. It was a kind of catharsis--thinking to yourself "Why would I want to hang around him/her? They're still the same jerk they were in high school."
I went to my 30th, and that will probably be the last one. Everyone just has too little in common now.
But the 10th and 20th? I enjoyed them thoroughly.
Of course, the fact that at my tenth, I wasn't married, and wound up shacking up with a flight attendant I'd only vaguely known in high school may have influenced my attitude.
