Tank size is good,
Water dish check,
Peat moss for substrate high enough in the tank she can't fall far, check.
A hide check.
Misting NO NO NO, lol they hate water. Water dish is plenty. I never monitor my humidity.
And for lighting normal every day light is just fine. You do not need anything extra.
Wire mesh lids, I steer clear of those, they tend to climb in new tanks and can get a leg caught and lose a leg or two. Some people use them though.
I think that's it... anything else?

That pretty much says it all. And i think the 10g is fine.

A 10g is a little too big, but as long as you make the height safe (dirt to ceiling roughly equal to the spider's legspan), it will dramatically lessen the risk of death if it climbs and falls. Which does happen.
