Are Campagnolo 10 and 11 speed compatibility?
This was amazing foresight or plain old dumb luck. As far as I know, no other 10-speed Shimano/SRAM-compatible freehub bodies are 11-speed compatible without modification (as I did here). However, all Campagnolo-compatible 9/10-speed freehub bodies also are compatible with Campagnolo 11-speed cassettes.

Yes they are. The 11 speed cassettes of Shimano and Campagnolo have the same sprocket spacings and overall widths, so you can swap a Shimano wheel/freehub/11sp cassette with a Campagnolo wheel/freehub/11 speed cassette. Rest of the bike can be Shimano or Campag 11 speed, it doesn’t matter.
