10% rye is pretty safe IMO. My Black Wheat Beer has 22% Wheat and 23% Rye, and was in danger of being really thick and gloopy so I mashed the Wheat and ry separately at 45C for 30 minutes then up to 68C before adding to the main mash (45% Rauchmalt, 10% Carafa Special III ) for an hour.

Its a nice black beer but the smoke phenolics probably overpower the Rye TBH
