Supposedly... you should be able to dry fire the 10/22 without worry... Supposedly.....
Trying to put a spent case into the action every time you want to test the trigger or safety would be a major pia with that little opening that you have to get into.....
For whatever it's worth, I have dry fired every 10/22 I've owned to test my trigger work and safeties during the process. They've also been dry fired after unloading and cleaning to release the hammer spring. I've never had a problem with the firing pin dinging up the chamber..... But I DON'T dry fire them just for the heck of it.
Maybe 30 years ago, when I was very new to shooting, I repeatedly dry fired a S&W Model 63. It was the first double-action revolver I had owned and I was enjoying playing with it..... I dinged up the chambers in the cylinder something fearce..... Had to have a gunsmith rebore them. I've been very cautious about any dry firing of a rimfire ever since.
