I bought a "Zeberoxyz Red Supporting Rod Set" (616mm version) for my CR10S Pro from Amazon a few day ago, and got it set up last night. It's a very nice kit, and went together easily. The only things I added were four M3 washers for the metal brackets that mount under the front of the printer (just my preference to use washers with the screws but it's not required). The assembly is straightforward, just assemble the rods, mount the brackets and then mount the rods. On the CR10S Pro, the top mounts have to stick out about 5mm from the edge of the 2020 extrusions to remain in line with the lower mounts, but that does not seem critical. I'd suggest not trying to put much tension or compression in the rods, to avoid racking the frame since these are just additional support. Unfortunately during the install I found a pre-existing issue with the squareness of the frame on my CR10S Pro, which I will need to deal with when set up the z-belt mod on my printer. Additionally, I found that, with this kit installed, I have an interference issue with my custom hydra remixed hot end (but there would not have been any problem if I were using the stock hot end). I will need to think over the best way to re-design my hot end mount, but it should not be too difficult.
Overall though, for a stock CR10S pro, I think something like this support rod kit is a great idea. It looks like Creality is including this same type of bracing on their CR10 V3, and I have seen it on other large printers as well. If you are running a custom hot end though (not stock), it would be worth checking for possible interference issues first.
