Microsoft OneDrive on premise sync is only supported when using Microsoft SharePoint 2019.

Is there no workaround to install one drive for business for sharepoint 2016 ?Are we supposed to migrate our sharepoint 2016 to sharepoint 2019 ? Costly step...

There are two OneDrive sync clients. OneDrive for Business (Groove) and Microsoft OneDrive (Next Generation Syn Client (NGSC)). For SharePoint 2016, in able to sync files one would have to use Groove client which is not as robust as NGSC. That's the only option unfortunately.
