If you double to FLEXCAN_TIMEOUT_US to 100, the loops in question will
spin at maximum the double time. But the loops are left as soon as the
condition is satisfied.

It will fix your problem with the 10 kbit/s bitrate. But if there is
some kind of problem with the IP core it will still fail, it just takes
double amount of time (100 µs + overhead) until the function returns.

I don't see any harm in looping longer:
- The previous good case is unchanged.
- The error case takes double amount of time.
- Your problem is hopefully fixed.
