We avoid the v prefix in prose, see https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/guides/doc-style-guide.md.

  • When referring to a version of Node.js in prose, use Node.js and the version
    number. Do not prefix the version number with v in prose. This is to avoid
    confusion about whether v8 refers to Node.js 8.x or the V8 JavaScript
    engine.
    • OK: Node.js 14.x, Node.js 14.3.1
    • NOT OK: Node.js v14

Starting with Node.js v10.0.0, the tracing system uses the same time source
as the one used by `process.hrtime()`
however the trace-event timestamps are expressed in microseconds,
unlike `process.hrtime()` which returns nanoseconds.

The addition of v here violates our style guide as noted by @richardlau above. However, the text here could stand some other improvements:

  • Might be a good idea to remove "Starting with Node.js 10.0.0". These docs are for a specific version of Node.js.
  • The sentence is a run-on sentence. It would be better split into two sentences.
Suggested change
