Will AF need to rebook me assuming I run across the airport? I have done a quick search and if I miss the next flight seems to be 10 hours later, would that then make me eligable for EU261? Would rather make the connection to be honest as its a long time to wait

Any advice is appreciated

Well, let's start with your itinerary, I assume you are flying LHR-CDG-IST? If AF will sell you this on one ticket they consider it a safe itinerary. In case of a misconnect, they will rebook you for free on the next available flight. Depending on the reason in case of a misconnect, you will or will not be entitled to compensation under EU261.
