Currently I have installed OneDrive Sync onDemand (OneDriveSetup.exe /AllUsers), also forced the SyncOnDemand policy through the ADMX configured on a GPO, but the users cannot get the OnDemand option when opening the settings.

I have tried with 4 versions of Windows Server 2016 as shown on the below list, but neither has worked:
Windows Server 2016:
Builds:
14393.2248
14393.2273
14393.4467
14393.4770

I have done the same procedure on a Windows Server 2019, on it is working successfully

Is it possible to know if Microsoft supports OneDrive SyncOnDemand on Windows Server 2016?

IvanSoft is the GPO not applying for the OneDrive Sync on Demand with Windows Server 2016? I’m ok if the users cannot select it within the OneDrive settings just as long as the GPO is forcing the behavior and settings.

IvanSoft Files on Demand is not available nor supported on Windows 2016. It's a feature of the OS, not OneDrive and Microsoft never made it available for 2016.

Your only option is to upgrade to Windows 2019, or move to Azure Virtual Desktops.
