Without knowing the details of the size of the FIFO and when it triggers the output stage to start sending data, it's hard to say exactly what is going on. I'm guessing that it has to be large enough to take a whole line, and triggers when the line is complete.

My home "office" is likewise compromised, but the work office is still available and has suitable equipment :-) I can't be that precise as I'm not bothering to get differential probes out and the like, but it does appear that the clock lane is running at the same speed for both 8 and 10 bit. I measured (cursors off the scope, measured over 4 cycles) 2.21ns for 8 bit, and 2.18ns for 10 bit, corresponding to 452 and 458MHz respectively. Those are well within the experimental error of my setup to be the 456MHz defined in the driver. Based on that I'm happy.

This control is needed for imx219 driver, as the link frequency is independent from the pixel rate in this case, and can't be calculated from the pixel rate.
