That TechNet article refers to 2012 R2, I don’t see a statement regarding version compatibility in 2016 products.
Consider this: Configuration Manager shares connectors with Operations Manager, has an integration pack with Orchestrator, and has a management pack with Operations Manager. Configuration Manager must be upgraded after Orchestrator, Operations Manager, and Service Manager to ensure continued operations with the connections it shares with other components. For example, if you were to upgrade Configuration Manager before Service Manager, the connectors for Service Manager would fail and you would lose that connector functionality until Service Manager is upgraded to System Center 2012 R2. If you are using these connectors then you should probably considering a full System Center upgrade. Otherwise it “might” be ok. Dare I suggest a PoC or at least testing this in a lab or test environment first? ☺ …maybe by then we will get an official statement.

Does anyone know if this upgrade will affect any of the other System Centre products and whether or not those other products will require an upgrade? 2. Any gotcha’s with the installation?
