Check out the Adva MicroMux Nano for this use case if you haven't already. 10x 1g in a single 10g transceiver using a 24S MPO. They also have a 10x 10g in a single QSFP28 as well.

We tend to avoid such solutions because we are now introducing a whole other device into the mix, which can be a problem when you are talking about tons of devices across tons of PoP's. We rank it right up there with media converters :-).

But certainly a solution to consider if it makes sense to you.
