2016 is 10 as well before degradation. So I mean it lines up with experience your having so I would think it's pretty much 10 as well for Online.
Sync client is irrelevant to co-authoring. The problem with Excel usually is the version of Excel, it's just become recently available to co-author and many people don't have the newer version to do so. This article used to say what version, but usually I say if you have the Auto save icon in the top left, then you can coauthor, otherwise you most likely need to update.
