Naruto and Hinata were married at 20 and 9 months later Boruto comes around. The anime takes place around the time Scarlet Spring happens, though. (The anime is confirmed (?) to cover something regarding Sarada's relationship with her parents soon, and the "red glasses" are mentioned, which is obviously a hint at an anime adaptation of the Gaiden chapters.)

And this is Boruto at age 5:. The anime definitely doesn't occur around the same time as Scarlet Spring. In Scarlet Spring, graduation is a week away, whereas in the anime, they have only just started attending.

According to the Konohagakure Chronology, the timeline goes like this:

2 years after the war: The events of The Last take place. 3 years after the war: Boruto is born late in the year. 4 years after the war: Sarada, Mitsuki, etc. are born. 12 years after the war: Chapter 700 takes place. 15 years after the war: The events of Scarlet Spring take place 16 years after the war: The events of Boruto: The Movie take place.

The interpretation that Iwabee was rounding up or down when he said ten years doesn't really seem correct. When rounding up or down, people say "about X years", but Iwabee said "just ten years ago". He was specifically emphasizing that the war occured ten years ago and with no conflicting source, I see no reason not to take his statement at face value.
