I never noticed, but I guess it would make more sense if it had 12 instead of 10.
Is it possible to have odd numbers for max energy/crew? All the ships have even numbers.

It's probably possible. But I have no idea really.

You mean, 1 crew is actually 3 individuals, a Zoq, a Fot, and a Pik? It's a good idea, but what if there are humans and Shofixti aboard the Stinger? Is 1 crew still 3 individuals? That wouldn't be consistent with the other ships.

The ZFP are a union of 3 races, that make sure each race is represented equally on certain positions holding power, ie. in their goverment. Captaining a starship is also such a position holding power, so they have to be represented by all three.
However, working aboard such a starship as a red shirt isn't being in a position of power, so it's just a matter of selecting the best zoq's fot's and pik's for the job  .

If there are humans or shofixti on a stinger they each take one slot. Zoq, Fot and Pik seem like relatively small creatures and work closely together. I don't see an inconstistancy... a unit of ZFP "crew" is always 3 individuals and for the other races it's one, no matter what ship they are on. So a Stinger crewed by 10 ZFP crew units in fact has 30 individual sentients aboard... if all but the captain are aliens then there are 9 aliens and 1 Zoq, Fot and Pik. This is consistant with the captain portrait (though the Earthling, Spathi and Androsynth already violate logic in that regard).

I think I have raised simular "concern" for Androsynth ship with 4 crew present on the pic and the Earthling , with two .

Why is damage marked with crew loss anyways? Normally it's hull and/or shield.

If it was mellee only , it could be just that - hull strength , but this was , I believe , to make the 2000 personnel of the starbase to be of real importance .
