Short answer: NASA is having difficulty getting the historical tapes from the National Archives.

Wow! Are there issues with other missions or just 16?

It's a hangup with the process, not the material. Every transfer is still pending.

Any Apollo 16 update? Or is it never going to happen?

I would assume until there is an update from NSF that it's on hold indefinitely.

The NSF grant information says the end date for the project is now July 2025.

The most recent paper I can find says they've preserved over 75,000 hours out of an estimated 150,000 hours of audio. (Apollo 11 is apparently 19,000 hours in total.) See: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10446811

So... maybe they're getting somewhere? But I'm not sure this is an advance from the previous news that they'd digitized Apollo 8, 9 and 10.
