If you specify, say, 10 GB of RAM cache to a StarWind volume, how much L1 reach cache and how much write buffer do you end up with?

There's no separate "read" and "write" caches. It's a dynamic unified cache (pretty much like your CPU or file system have). So size is between 0 and 10 GB in your case.
