I think if the plane officially "arrives" at 10:30pm then there's a good chance AA will offload you and accommodate standby/non-rev pax, and it doesn't matter how quickly you get to the departure gate.
Even granting deplane at 1030pm, in what universe will AA offload the passenger when the connection has a 11pm scheduled departure time? Boarding usually ends 15 minutes prior.
