Anyone done a 2010-2020 5.0 swap into their EB? Wondering if the engine is a direct bolt up and if not what modifications are needed?

That is called a coyote, and yes some have done it and it is getting more popular. I don’t know much about it but it is a major undertaking.

Search coyote as mentioned.
Not even close to a direct bolt in. Kits do exist.
Watch what you are looking for. Older trucks are the lowest HP and newest mustangs nearly 100 HP more.

I'm headed towards a 306 w/ 375 HP. Don't recall the torque but it is pretty close to a direct fit (I think). My concern is making sure everything else keeps up ... Steering, brakes, etc!

That's not the 5.0 he is talking about. That is the OLD 5.0 pushrod engine.
The 2010-2020 5.0 is a DOHC engine. Share nothing is common with the old pushrod engine.

The First Gen 2011-2014 Mustang Coyote you can find really cheap.

Lots of prep and extra parts needed prior to install for any Coyote in an Early Bronco.

There is a BIG cool factor to installing one in a Bronco, but for the extra work I'm not sure. A Nice Cleveland is better suited for the Bronco.
