I've read mixed reviews on 10-10-10 fertilizer and applying that to lawns. Some say it has no use on lawns, others say it's a good source of fertilization in the absence of soil testing. Could some of you expert Bermuda guys clarify if it's the right fertilizer for Bermuda, or clarify if it is the wrong product to be using.

It's completely fine to use for Bermuda.

Would it be ok to apply the 10-10-10 and Milo on the same day?

It is all water-soluble (fast release), so I would just keep that in mind when calculating your application rates/timing. I wouldn't apply it at the sames rates I would use with a fertilizer that contains some slow release.

FWIW, I used 13-13-13 10 lbs. product per 1k, and light Milo (1 bag per 4k) for my first application this season and let the rain water it in good. That's basically a N total between the 13-13-13 and Milo of 1.75 lbs N/1k, a little heavy, but Milo is all slow release if I understand correctly. Had the first green yard in the neighborhood, of course I was one of the few who scalped and bagged all the dead Bermuda. I put it down the end of the first week in March. I've done Milo only (1 bag per 2k) apps in April and May, 0.9 N/1k. Yard is looking great! Not sure what a Mostly St Augustine yard would require.

How often can 10-10-10 be applied to Bermuda grass?

How often do you like to mow? Is this in lieu of a soil test?

My soil test reccomends 10-10-10 at green up. Then 34-0-0 or 42-0-0. Without a soil test 10-10-10 should be fine.
