There are quite a few AFK players on the server. Would it be possible to implement a system that kicks players after 5–10 minutes of inactivity? This could help free up space for others who are trying to join.

Agree! Not 5-10 minutes though, as Spa Time or Tournaments (spectator) take that or longer.
I would maybe do 15 or 20min of AFK before disconnecting the player

The downside is that more players online (even if they are afk) inflate the Steam numbers, which in turn help to attracts more players to the game. A better solution would be to create more servers or increase the server cap.

An hour or two, big agree

I think one or two hours is too much time, especially for a waiting queue. Imagine waiting in line for an hour because there's a player who's AFK in the tournament and not even watching. One possible measure to avoid this would be a warning that pops up every 3 to 5 minutes saying the player will be disconnected for being AFK. From there, it's simple — the player just moves to the side and the timer resets.
