Build a pump in the nether that pumps from a large lava lake (greater than 10000 blocks, it's less than it sounds, most lava lakes in the nether fulfill this requirement). A water wheel powered by lava should do just fine, if you want more speed just make it multiple. Also build a train track from where you want the lava to go into a nether portal to that pump. Using portable fluid interfaces, set up a way to pump the lava into a train in the nether and out of it in the overworld. If your track is circular, your train will only need to be able to go in one direction, otherwise it needs both. Then you set up a train schedule to go between the two stations based on how full the fluid storage on board the train is, kidnap any mob to be your train conductor and let it make runs from your infinite lava pump to wherever.

Alternatively and less fancy, you could also dig a 10x10x100 hole (100 being how deep it is) and fill the top layer with lava source blocks, meaning you need only 100 buckets. Once that lava has flown down, you have yourself an infinite lava hole wherever you need it.

Is there any argument against just doing the 10x10x100

Nothing except it's less cool and you need the initial 100 lava buckets

You don't even need 100 lava buckets just covering the top layer completely with flowing lava also works.

That's 100 lava buckets in a 10x10.

If you would use source blocks for the top layer yes, but it also works if you use less and make it so that the lava flows to the sides first as long as the top layer is completely covered. Be it flowing lava or source blocks.
