I have the unlocked S10 and downloaded a few Verizon apps from the play store. I'm with Verizon too. What features or apps do you want?

No, you will lose such things as Visual Voicemail (VVM) LTE Video Calling and VoWiFi (WiFi calling) Only phones sold directly through Verizon get those features.

When researching locked vs unlocked I read somewhere that this can be done at certain Samsung Experience locations.

I want the hd calling, the option to use video calling during a phone call, I dont want the places tab and I dont want facebook on my phone, so hoping I would be able to remove those 2 things also

I would suggest heading over to XDA forums. They deal a lot more with rooting/roms/flashing/firmwares etc.
