16" RLGS works on 5.56 to a degree, but that has much less bore volume.
16" RLGS might work on Grendel, but you'll need a large gas port.
Using RLGS increases your risk of damage to the gas system if you mate it with shorter handguards, which shouldn't be done anyway. Shorter gas is a solution to that problem you had with the rifle falling.
I also would consider not placing firearms within reach of people with mental illnesses where that type of access is a substantial risk of danger.
I personally wouldn't go over MLGS or ILGS in Grendel on a 16" barrel. There's a good discussion on this with diagrams in Volume I of the Grendel Handbooks.
Graphs show what type of reliability to expect with the different configurations.
