Well... here's a 10' profile that you can modify the interior length by decreasing the headboard depth. If you go that route, move the door forward to match where your hips rest.
The distance between the headboard and the rear bulkhead is 78" (198cm).
The rear bulkhead is comprised of two parts. The countertop/shelf sits on the lower bulkhead, and the upper bulkhead slides down and contacts it. You could also bump the lower bulkhead back too.
Or.... get a leg reduction.

Is a rounded front any more difficult to build then the more flatter front you used?

You can find some of the best tents for sale here. There is plenty of category and size. Their qualities are top-graded.

1 thing i noticed is for the walls. the plywood sheets are 18mm thick and the isolation foam panels are 20mm thick (1/16th of an inch difference i guess) Is that a problem? What would you suggest in using these measurements.

That small of a difference would be easy to sand out, though messy. But there are ways to control the foam dust.
Another option would be a hot wire cutter. I made one with a 6 foot long wire so we could use 1 inch thick foam in our 3/4 inch plywood cores. But I'm not sure how well that would work when the difference is only 2 mm. I think in your case, I'd go with sanding. Maybe outside or with the shop doors open so the wind would help take out the foam dust.
