Ford E 450 Class C with 5.4 V8
I see on NADA guides that some smaller Class Cs specs call for the 5.4 V8 instead of the 6.8 V 10. Is that true? Is that engine capable enough? Better mileage??

The 5.4L is adequate IMO for not-towing. But anything larger than 24' will be E450 anyways. I would opt for the V10 in a short coach if you want to tow.
"Adequate" for driving the flat. It would struggle going up hill.
If I had one, I would check into installing a 4.10 rear axle, but that would kill any fuel economy improvement. A people complain how much a V10 revs. Wait until that combination of a 5.4L and a 4.10 hits a steep hill !
