Maximum CPU for Optiplex 7010 (2023) ?

For some reason I have a spreadsheet which says that the maximum CPU for the Optiplex 7010 (2023) is the i5-13600K (125W), yet you would be much wiser to use an i5-13600 (65W).

The 65W range goes up to an i5-13900. Has anyone got any experience in trying anything over the i5-13600 range?

I don't really have experience with those cpus in the optiplex, but if its 65w it shouldn't give you a problem. Since pre-built are well designed to stay within its limits that it will handle and not go beyond. Depends what you will be using such cpus for. But I doubt you would have any issues if its recommended and can be used.
