I have a sensitive circuit breaker outside. It manages a pool pump, fridge, and outdoor lights.
What (reasonably) low wattage miner(s) could I run out there to keep my garage warm and still hit <= 10TH?

Miners are nearly pure resistive loads. They shouldn't trip a breaker at all as long as you aren't overloading the circuit.
it depends on how close to amperage capacity they are
a lot of modern electrical appliances have very sharp bursts that will for sure increase the chances of the switch overloading and flipping off
but i'd be looking at what is actually in operation when the circuit trips, i had this happen last year with a washing machine several times, somewhere inside it there was something creating an earth bridge when the current in the circuit was high enough
my advice is to do an elimination test, turn everything off, then put on the miners, then one by one add other devices until you flip the switch and the likely suspect is one of the ones you turn on later
it's more likely you have a ground fault than overload if the capacity is definitely way under the switch rating
