Installation of SharePoint Server 2016 with HA
On the SharePoint side you're fine. On the SQL side, you should be using SQL AlwaysOn Availability Groups (if using Enterprise) or SQL Clustering (if using Standard). Mirroring is a deprecated technology.
I would not separate the SQL server purposes. Until you have a large enough environment and high enough load to warrant having multiple SQL server instances serving SharePoint content (and even then, try to scale up as much as possible rather than out to reduce management overhead).
