I don't think #10 is all that bad. It's a bit confusing to figure out which variable gets assigned to the others, but that's easily figured out to be the right-most variable. Logically speaking, it does make sense: all those variables end up being equal to each other.

That’s exactly my point. It causes mental fatigue. If you have to stop and think about how something as simple as this is constructed then it reduces the legibility of the code. It’s not that hard to figure out, but it still isn’t absolutely clear and imo it’s unnecessary.

10 could be really bad in a language like c++ with operator overloading. But, yeah, the "incorrect" version is much clearer, regardless.
what about
const [a, b, c] = [d, d, d];?
