Am I to assume that this 10 ft. mast will only get 7 ft. above the peak because 3 ft. has to be below the bracket for stability?
Correct.

Tripods can support a 10' mast section with no guy wires. There are also self supporting masts available. etc.

There are a wide variety of mounting techniques / options. In the end, it's your home and the FCC says you can mount an antenna of reasonable dimensions without your local government or neighbors interfering.
