When Maverick ejected at Mach 10.5, he was going 7,000 mph, giving him 400 million joules of kinetic energy — the explosive power of 100 kg of TNT. A situation that human physiology is not designed to survive.
So, no. Maverick does not walk away from this. He be dead. Very dead.

Indeed, that kinetic energy scales with the square of velocity is not well-appreciated!
A sealed escape pod with a heat shield would probably work.
