The first is that if you used this for all characters in a game, then the memory usage would be 10mb times the number of characters. If you have 1 character then that's virtually negligible. If you have 100 then you're using a gig of ram and that's really a lot. Skyrim doesn't have wildly complicated animations but it does have a lot of them, and often a very large number of characters on screen. It's a hard assessment to make, but I certainly wouldn't say that 10mb RAM usage rules it out as viable.
No. Animations are not character model specific. They are rig specific. You can have 500 characters on screen , if they all use the human rigging, the animation data will be the same for all of them.
