I've found git cherry-pick hard to use compared to git merge -- but then
again, I'm using cherry-pick to actually cherry-pick; not keep two branches
in sync.

So if my usual workflow is commit to master, test, commit, test, then
make fX equivalent to master and build there, what is the cherry-pick way to
do that simple task?

git merge way would be:

$ git checkout f16
$ git merge master

which seems very simple and very suited for this particular workflow.
