Gravitational attraction scales as M/r^2, so if the planets have larger radii they won't have 10 times the gravitational attraction.

That said, any speculation about life on super earths should be taken with a huge grain of salt.

One super-grain of salt, to be precise.

Let's build a tiny eco system in a large centrifuge and see what happens.

Practical, in space. Start the ecosystem spinning, and it won't stop (essentially frictionless). Maybe a balloon/bag on one end of a rope, a weight on the other end.
