Unbalanced not so good for yield in keeping with 10-layers only lets try, with the core being double thick (between PWR1 and PWR2) not ideal due to decoupling/cavity but with core and good z-direction stitch will provide signal isolation for limit of layers.

Unbalanced construction 2. The top could be useless as a plane depending on what and how many parts are used. Best Regards, Steve.
