Thanks for the advice as I wasn't sure if anything had changed having previously worked with many SharePoint 2013 deployments.

I do have one further related question: Do I need to apply September 2017 (FP 2) PU followed by December 2017 (PU), as only FP 1 is included in both of these Public Updates?

One of the big changes between 2013 and 2016 is the patching advice from MS.

Each PU is cumulative, you just need to install the December 2017.

A very good resource for all patching information is the Stefan Gossner's blog at https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/stefan_gossner/2017/12/12/december-2017-cu-for-sharepoint-2016-is-available-for-download/

Thanks very much, that was the answer I as hoping for - FP 2 is also part of the Dec 12 2017 PU.

  FPs are simply another PU with additional features.
