10-13 works well for shows with an episodic format. If however one story is fully serialised over that number of instalments it can start to drag out. The most recent series of stargirl is a good example of that - the risk is you end up watching the heroes getting beaten up for 12 weeks before it’s all resolved in the first 20 minutes of the finale. Then they move on to establish the set-up for next year.
IIRC Marvel has stuck to serialised material so far, and I do think they have been wise to limit the number of instalments within each serial to the number required to tell the story.
