get_posts no older than X days – WordPress

1. As of 3.7 you can use date_query https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#date-parameters

   So it would look like:

   $args = array(
       'posts_per_page' => 5,
       'post_type' => 'post',
       'orderby' => 'comment_count',
       'order' => 'DESC',
       'date_query' => array(
           'after' => date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-10 days')) 
       )
   ); 
   $posts = get_posts($args);

2. The exemple from the doc should work just fine. get_posts() uses WP_Query() behind the scene to make the actual request. For your case the modified example should look something like this:

   // Create a new filtering function that will add our where clause to the query
   function filter_where( $where = '' ) {
       // posts in the last 30 days
       $where .= " AND post_date > '" . date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-10 days')) . "'";
       return $where;
   }
   
   add_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' );
   $query = get_posts(array (
               'numberposts' => 5,
               'orderby'=>'comment_count',
               'order'=>'DESC',
               'post_type'   => array ( 'post' )
            ));
   remove_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' );
