You wait for 10 seconds. That is way too long. A wireless connection is usually established within 3 seconds. Or not. You wait for 10 seconds. That is way too short. A wireless connection may take 30 or even 60 seconds to establish. A wireless connection may go up and down. It may stay down. Or come back up. You need to react to these changes. Luckily, dhcpcd can partially handle this these days and you can simply start dhcpcd without delay, and it will figure out when to request an IP.
