What exactly is required to enable the modern page experience in SP 2016 on-prem server? I think @Bill Baer's Feature Pack 2 Post alludes to this functionality. But I was hoping someone could clarify for me from a non-dev perspective. :D
Cheers!

Modern pages are indeed not part of Feature Pack 2. The only new functionality is support for SharePoint Framework (SPFx) webparts.

Thank you for the responses. Any idea on if and when these features will be available for on-prem?

There hasn't been any communication on this unfortunately...

I'm assuming this includes the communication site template as well.

Indeed, no word on any *modern* page experience for on-premises so far

Microsoft has no plans to bring additional modern experiences to SharePoint 2016.

Modern team sites will come to SharePoint Server 2019 only - at least that's the plan.

Does this mean the modern experience of SharePoint 2016, Feature Pack 2 will only extend to modern the look in list and libraries, and creating your own SPfx web parts to deploy in classic pages (?). I think only exception to this is OneDrive for business will bet the modern UI but this could be academic if this is redirected to the cloud...

That link is dead. Did you overstep by suggesting what might be in SharePoint 2019?

This is a really big disappointment for customers with On-Premise investments and environments.
Microsoft's logic with the launch of SharePoint 2016, which was said to have similar infrastructure to the cloud's infrastructure, was that new features in SharePoint Online would be relatively quickly in SharePoint 2016 integrated.
I can only say this failed promotion has led SharePoint On-Premise until today outdated. Microsoft has just left SharePoint On-Premise to rot. Web Parts and interfaces of Team Sites at very best from 2013 if not worse.
We all knew that Microsoft will focus on the cloud, but the picture here is clear. Microsoft has just abandoned SharePoint On-Premise. I don't have a problem with this, but I do have a problem because it was not clear right from the beginning. We just bought something else.
Without own developments and solutions, I have to say that I as SharePoint Administrator I find it more and more difficult to convince my users that they are collaborating in a modern environment.

I do share your frustration as I am in a similar position in trying to make a new intranet portal visually appealing as possible whilst planning to push most workloads into the cloud. You do have a few choices tho.

No Modern Pages but how about Modern Libraries and Lists? They should be available?

No modern lists or libraries on SharePoint 2016 on-premises. The only 'modern' thing you get is that you can use SPFx to build custom web parts. You can add your custom SPFx web parts to classic pages in SharePoint 2016. I am actually doing exactly that right now for one of my clients. SharePoint 2016 on-premises does not have modern team sites, does not have modern communication sites, and does not have any of the modern web parts (modern web parts cannot be installed on classic pages anyway). At the SharePoint Conference NA in Las Vegas last week (May 21) we learned that SharePoint 2019 on-premises will support modern team sites, modern communication sites and modern web parts (yay!) but not hub sites (doh!).
