How do you say 00’s? There’s a few options, but none are universally understood when spoken. You end up saying the century as well just for that reason, even when it would be clear from context.
The 10’s come up IRL, as does that we’re in the 20s. People have been confused when someone is actually talking about the 1920’s. So, I’d say we’re good there.
'Noughts or “the first decade of this century” are also around. The 2000’s seems to work fairly reliably, but like you said they still might interpret it as the century, and it’s just a mouthful.

The aughts are the '00s, but I’ve never heard anyone say the tens when talking about the 2010s.
Hmm. Well, maybe I’m just in a bubble there. I don’t think I’ve seen it used in media.
I’ve heard either “the aughts” or just “the two thousands” although that one isn’t as clear.
