Is it dumb of me to take this revolver on it's possible maiden voyage after nearly 51 years of waiting?

Shoot it.
Even though the 2" version is a bit less common, the Model 10 is simply too widely available and there are too many of them for it to become a sought-after collectible in our lifetime, which would have to happen for the "possibly unfired" status to make a significant value difference.
What's the point of sitting on a nice shooter for 10 or 20 years unfired just so you (or your estate
) maybe get a hundred more for it upon resale?
