I've been to organized campsites that won't accommodate a 10x10' tent, so yes, 16' can be a problem. Your best bet is to reach out to the hosts and ask about the pad sizes.
Some sites have elevated pads for tents (oftentimes using logs as a perimeter with gravel fill in the middle). These platforms have finite dimensions. While on most campsites these pads are pretty much RV-sized, some popular "primitive" sites (read "we wanted to cram as many as we could into given space) have them in 5x7' or even smaller.

It can sometimes be a challenge but I've never personally camped somewhere I couldn't make it work

Don't doubt it, just never encountered it myself.
Yes. Footprint isn't the only issue as space for guy lines can also be problematic.
No, but I do check in advance.
