Until the platys are large enough, they'll be in danger of being eaten. Wait until they're out of the tank. 3-4 6" eels should be fine in a 10g with adequate filtration. Most eels require substantially less space than most other fish, like a 24" eel will be just fine in a 75g, whereas a 24" cichlid would need upwards of 200g.

A zig zag would not be fine. Maybe you could look into kuhli/coolie loaches or dojo/weather loaches.

I was thinking about getting coolie loaches that but they hide more than eels do

I am going to get 3 zebra spiny eels for the 10g. is that fine?

They stay relatively small, so I don't see a problem. Just make sure your filter is rated for at least a 20 gallon.
