If we migrate a SharePoint Server 2010 with Enterprise Client Access License to a SharePoint Server 2013 with Standard Client Access License, would we have issues?
I presume we will have issues as this seems an upgrade in version but a downgrade in edition. I would like to hear your thoughts and experience.
This is not an easy job as it is not supported path of Migration. In your situation, I highly recommend using the 3rd party tools(ShareGate, Metalogix etc).
Another Option, I am thinking( complex, required a lot of work).
You can not directly upgrade from SharePoint 2010 Enterprise to SharePoint 2013 Standard as mentioned in MSDN link given below.
Please find table under Supported editions for upgrade in below given link.
Review supported editions and products for upgrading to SharePoint 2013
If you want to upgrade from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 than please follow guideline mentioned in below mentioned link.
The SharePoint Standard Edition does not support InfoPath forms in both the SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013. Therefore if your SharePoint sites contain InfoPath forms in SharePoint 2010 Enterprise, these will stop working in SharePoint 2013 Standard. There are other issues also that may come up. Check the list of features between the editions given in the link below to make this decision.

SharePoint 2013 has a new configuration option called "licensing". You can enable and disable license-depended features for a group of users.
My Idea:
Important: As i am not a licensing expert, you should review my advice with your licensing-partner!
