Should the chain diverge that much?
Yes that's completely normal.
You have one chainring and it has a fixed position. You have 11 gears on the rear, and only one of those could have "perfect chainline" All the rest are ...

Damaged spokes behind the cassette
This kind of damage occurs when the chain gets stuck between the cassette and the spokes. It happened while riding, most likely, as indicated by the fact that the spokes are bent in the pull direction ...

Hyperglide vs HG10/HG11/HG12
You seem to be asking about the freehub body dimensional standards as opposed to the features of the cassettes that go on each one per se, so I'll limit it to that.
One of the confusing things is a ...

Budget Chainring Upgrade
I looks like an 8-speed 11-40T cassette would likely have pretty big jumps (which is what you intuited): e.g. 11-13-16-20-24-28-32-40T or 11-13-15-18-22-28-34-40. Those jumps range from approximately ...

Altus 9-speed shifters&derailleur paired with a 10-speed road bike cassette
There is no compatibility of any kind between the shifter you have and any 10-speed cassette. Being able to kinda sorta get into all the gears doesn't make it work.

Can I replace a 10 speed cassette with an 11 speed?
Actually, if all you meant is can you put a 10s cassette on that rear wheel, the answer is yes, but you'll need a spacer. Those are a stock Shimano thing. The 11s freehub is just a bit longer than the ...

Can a Rivendell Silver 38x24 crankset be used with a Dura-Ace 11-28 cassette?
Your cassette doesn't care what size your chainrings are, although those are remarkably small chainrings for a road bike. Is that possibly a triple missing its big ring?

Can I replace a 10 speed cassette with an 11 speed?
Short answer: No, you can't.
For common road groupsets, the spacing between the cogs, the width of the cogs and the key dimensions of the chain are dependent of the number of speeds. So the derailleur ...

Can I replace my 10 speed Shimano cassette with a 9-speed Shimano cassette on a Bontrager non-specific 10 speed hub
The term "indexed spacer" isn't a standard one.
Some (many) 10-speed Shimano cassettes come with a 1mm spacer that's always used except with a very few hubs.
What's in question here is ...

You have a freewheel, not a cassette, you need to remove it using a freewheel tool by unscrewing it. Unlike with a cassette, you do not need a chain whip.

Turbo Trainer Cassette vs Bike Gears
The name 8/9/10 speed freehub is in fact misleading. You can use 7 speed cassette on the trainer, but you'll need 4.5mm spacer for that (that you install on the freehub body before the cassette).
