How do we know that 10000 is enough? Shouldn't we rather block until
receipt of some completion signal?

After 10s Windows will kill us anyway.  Think of it as SIGTERM/SIGKILL.

Using a completion signal would be more polite (the QEMU process would
disappear as soon as possible), but the outcome would be the same.
