Its actually a really easy rollback - just go to "system->updates" and select the 9.10 train, then update. You obviously lose things 9.10 cannot support - like VMs and Docker - but if you are just using the basics it should work OK.
If things go badly you can always just re-install with 9.10 - your data should be imported automatically, though your shares and other config data will likely have be restored by hand after a re-install.
The only "gotcha" is that Corral permitted some new features in ZFS and the "alert" in Corral encourages users to "upgrade" their ZFS pools. The "9.10-STABLE" release can't support this upgraded ZFS pool - but the "9.10-NIGHTLY" apparently does, so if you upgraded to your ZFS pools or created new ones after installing Corral you have to select the "NIGHTLY" train for 9.10 (just saying "apparently" because I've not rolled back myself).
Of course, the "gotcha" in the "gotcha" is that this puts you back onto a development train instead of the stable release.

FreeNAS Corral - Migrating from FreeNAS Corral to FreeNAS 9.10
Sucks because I just created a new pool in Corral, so I'm thinking I'll have to blow it away and remigrate to it when I go back to 9.10.

Why don't you just wait a few weeks until 9.10.3 is stable and then migrate? Unless you have issues o/c that you need resolved now.
I understand that you don't want a Tech preview running, but this might be way less trouble then messing with the data

Just want to report that I successfully imported my upgraded zpools from Corral into a new 9.10.2 config. No issues at all.
