I agree with what you are saying given declarer’s line of play, but results not withstanding I don’t like the finesse of the ten of spades which has a 50% chance of winning. Personally if I was playing the hand at MPs I’d play to ruff two spades using trumps to cross back to the hand. After drawing the last trump then lead a club towards the jack for the twelfth trick. This requires 3-1 trumps and no worse than 5-2 spades.
Excellent lesson !! Thank you
Thank you for watching!

I agree with you completely. Trumping is better than finessing.
