I've got 10 bags of lime to spread over my lawn. Is a rotary spreader
a good choice here? Do I need to be careful of clogging up the gears?

Not unless it is granulized for the purpose of spreading w/ one it
won't work well. Lime tends to simply pack into a solid chunk w/ an
ordinary rotary because the agitator isn't big/tough enough to break
it up. I've seen the cheaper plastic ones simply strip the spinner
while better ones basically just rotate and the product bridges over
above them. Need a linear drop-type spreader or simply throw it out
w/ a shovel and till to spread it around and even it out.
