We did not suffer a mail flow stoppage on our 2016 servers due to this issue, but only because we use Symantec Mail Security AND select the option to disable malware scanning when installing Exchange. We did, however, receive a slew of SCOM alerts caused by the 5300 and other associated events. The fix was applied, but it did require a restart of the servers to get the errors to stop. We are in a Hybrid environment, and use on-premises Exchange to handle outbound mail flow, and to relay messages from the multitude of on-premise systems. It is disappointing that Microsoft has decided to punish organizations that chose to continue to operate Exchange in a solely on-premises environment by reserving a number of very useful features for the cloud implementation. Even Hybrid deployments could benefit from things like the ability to see transport rule hits easily.
