Hi, There is clearly enough clock chips today that would fit the bill and probably provide good enough jitter for you to operate it safely. Look at products like this: https://www.silabs.com/products/timing/clocks/general-purpose-clock-generators
There is more of them as you look around. Then, also consider classic mixer-approach, which may be workable or not for you: Square the 10 MHz, feed into a tuned tank for 30 MHz, amplify and square, divide by 5, mix produced 6 MHz with 10 MHz and amplify into a tuned tank at 16 MHz, buffer and square as needed for output. However, for the application at hand I would look at the modern clock generator chips that has come a long way. Their relatively low noise is due to their GHz CMOS oscillators and relatively quiet dividers. The setup gives a relatively good flexibility. Fractional divisors has come a long way to solve more problems. You get more than the real-estate of one of the surface mounted DBM mixers would provide you. It's when you want to go to very low noise that you would consider another approach. Then again, I would enjoy the challenge of the mixer approach. So choose method based on what is most rewarding, but for simplicity the clock chips seems like a good go, so there it is more about locating a cheap board with the right chip on it.
