The AMD engineers have decided to only support the open-source amdgpu driver and diverted all resources from fglrx to amdgpu.
Due to this, 16.04 does not have fglrx because the X11 server in 16.04 is not compatible any more with fglrx.
Around this time (end 2016/early 2017) it was supposed for amdgpu to get parity in features with fglrx. I have not checked, are there issues missing from amdgpu? You would need to test, and preferably test with the AMDGPU PRO driver distribution from AMD (has the very latest support that may take a bit of time to make it to the upstream projects).

I don't know. AMDGPU requires an older version of the kernel, so I'd have to downgrade from 16.10 just to try it out.
