-40mm would be approaching low
I’m guessing you mean -40mm on a 150mm 29er? I quickly looked at the V10 specs and it has -2mm bb drop.-40mm would be approaching low
Take a look at the pedals guys and girls are using. They look thinner than the OP

Less prone to hit things.
Try shorter cranks - you might have less pedal strikesI have pedal strike probably 8-10 times on my big loop on the eGenius where
Just like on any bike a pedal strike issue is almost always entirely due to rider error. Don't kid yourself it's inherently an emtb issue.
As i've said previously the main difference between emtb and mtb is the higher speed you approach stuff for less rider effort. and the ease at which you transmit power through the rear wheel means it's tempting to keep pedalling when you really shouldn't be. You still have to time pedal strokes and pay attention to foot position. it just takes a little time to adapt. and when tired or offline it's harder to concentrate on foot position.
Already my pedal strikes are reducing, I am now thinking much more about the obstacles up ahead on the trail and what that means for my pedal position. It does mean I am riding a bit slower as not simply pedaling constantly but ultimately it is improving my riding.If you choose to percevere with standard length cranks, in time you'll also reduce pedal strike rate.
Update: Almost 13 weeks and it's still not healed. The xray from 5 weeks looks the same as the xray from 12 weeks. It's significantly displaced and overlaps about 4cm.
Here's the weirdest part of it though. I feel great. I have been riding off road doing blue trails nice and slowly without much discomfort.
Anyway, getting a CT scan. If the results are bad, will see surgeon to see if a plate and bone graft is needed. That will suck the bag. Starting all over again. Happy trails.
