"Ethernet and tunnel interfaces cannot coexist on the same Packet
Forwarding Engine of a 10-Gigabit Ethernet 4-port DPC."
I *thought* I remembered that you would disable just one of the 10G
ports. But the above description is pretty clear.
Compare with the description for the 40 x 1G DPC:
https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/example/chassis-tunnel-interfaces-gigabit-ethernet-40-port-dpc-configuring.html
"On a Gigabit Ethernet 40-port DPC, tunnel interfaces coexist with
Ethernet interfaces."
