I’m assuming you mean on the front-end / display end and not the admin panel. If I’m mistaken please reply back and we can come up with a different solution. Additionally I don’t have Pro but from what I remember the repeater field is simply an array so instead of using the helper functions you can get the raw results using get_field().

// Get our repeater values
$repeater_arr = get_field( 'repeater-name-or-key', $post_id );

/**
 * We're going to shuffle the repeater array ( randomize the whole thing )
 * Which is done by reference, so lets put it in a temporary value
 * So we don't mess with our original repeater_arr value
 */
$temp_arr = $repeater_arr;
shuffle( $temp_arr );

// Grab up to 10 values of the array
$random_slice = array_slice( $temp_arr, 0, 10 );

// Loop through the random subfields
foreach( $random_slice as $subfield ) {
	echo $subfield['title'];
}
