A 10W iPad charger should in theory work and you would be correct that it would be a slow charge. Well, to be accurate, it would be a horribly slow charge - you are getting a charger that is 1/6th (17%) of what is required (61W).
Will there be a problem? No.
Will it charge? I doubt it Slowly. I would be surprised if the MBP accepted the connection and started charging the battery from Molasses in January slowly. From Apple's web site:
Your Mac will charge from USB-C power adapters not manufactured by Apple if they adhere to the USB Power Delivery specification.
Assuming you are using a genuine Apple iPad charger, it should charge since Apple charges adhere to the spec.
