I note the following examples of this type of tripartite division of the Torah:
The problem with all of these is that no such distinction is made in the Torah itself. The closest we come is the difference we have between:
None of these have been retracted and Jesus even says so in Matt 5:17-19. But how the covenants work and which should now be kept is another matter for another question.
When Jesus was asked about the greatest commandment in the law (Matt 22:37-40, Mark 12:29-31) He responded with two commandments about love (Deut 6:5 & Lev 19:18) that are not part of the 10 commandments. Therefore, even for those who believe that we can separate moral laws from ceremonial laws, the moral laws clearly more than just the 10 commandments.
I know of some groups who say some of the following things:
None of these are even internally consistent.

So this question cannot be reduced to just opposing "What SDAs say" about all TEN remaining.
It could be debated as to whether the remaining TEN are to be "edited" or not - to re-point the Sabbath from "The seventh day" Ex 20:10 to some other day - such as week-day-1.
Paul also affirms this idea (that the unit of TEN remains) as we see in Eph 6:1-2 where "the first commandment with a promise" is the 5th commandment. That is a direct appeal to the "unit of Ten" and would not have been needed if all Paul was saying is "I agree with the command to honor parents".

Article 7 of the Church of England's 39 Articles presupposes the threefold division of the law into Civil, Ceremonial, and Moral:
...Although the Law given from God by Moses, as touching Ceremonies and Rites, do not bind Christian men, nor the Civil precepts thereof ought of necessity to be received in any commonwealth; yet notwithstanding no Christian man whatsoever is free from the obedience of the Commandments which are called Moral.
I'm not familiar enough with classical Anglican homiletics to know where the 4th commandment would have been placed in this classification. My hunch is that they would have called it ceremonial as applied to Saturday but moral as applied to Sunday.
