Is it suitable for the Macbook 16 inch, or is there something better?

Helpful answer

I have also read about it. Some report that it has improved since the last OS update. I took a quick look at the adapter on the manufacturer's website and noticed that it only supports 4k@30Hz via HDMI. I would therefore not recommend it to you. But I still have an alternative for you: https://www.apple.com/ch-de...
It's unfortunately a little less compact and more expensive, but it uses Thunderbolt3 and offers you two HDMI 4k@60Hz, USB 3 etc. with just one connection. In addition, the problem with the HDMI connection should not occur via Thunderbolt.

Personally, I have a cheap USB dock like this for emergencies on the road, and otherwise I simply convert the cables of most devices to USB-C.

The problem is the charging power, which is only max 60 W. The Macbook Pro 16" can charge up to 96 W. Therefore, I would rather recommend this one: Satechi ST-CMBPM (HDMI, 87W, USB Type C, USB Type A)
It's still designed for the "old" MBP 15.4", but its charging power should be sufficient for everyday use. If you push your device to its limits every day with computationally intensive work, I would perhaps wait a few more weeks for adapted versions.
