TLDR : Answer Summary

To avoid being denied entry to Thailand on a NON-O marriage extension, it is advisable to apply for an extension immediately if you have zero days left. As long as you have a valid re-entry permit and your extension is still valid, you should be allowed entry. It's crucial to avoid letting your visa lapse, as that could lead to complications or additional scrutiny upon re-entry.

I let my lapse this year because I was out for work longer than normal. When I came back on a tourist visa I was interrogated and told to never do it again

I don't understand the question? If you have days left (and a re-entry permit) you can come in. What would possibly lead to a refused entry?

10 days or less validity.. Immigration might opt for a 60 day tourist stamp, or airlines might request a return ticket?

they can't give you a 60 day visa exempt stamp even if you asked. You can't not use a visa or re-entry if you have it.

Airlines can also not just randomly ask for return tickets. They pre-check whether you are eligible to enter, and with the reentry permit a return ticket isn't required. No matter how many days are left, the extension is aimed at long stay and that's how the accompanying entry rules are defined: no exit travel ticket required.

As long as you have the re-entry permit they should let you in as long as your extension is still valid.

Zero days. Except that wouldn’t be too advisable because you need to immediately apply for the year extension.
