I have all sorts of tasks running on those systems that continue to run for weeks and months even if my remote desktop connection is suspended. I have several machines that I run headless where my only access is via remote desktop. Interesting, my experience has been decidely different. The problem inherently with Windows (not server editions) is that they are essentially single user systems so when logged off or in sleep mode" processes started by that user are quiesced - unless background jobs !! One thing I'd look at though is say running some Linux VM's on the server - these can then do all sorts of things - even submit jobs to the server etc without you having to connect via RDP. Without knowing what types of work you are doing on the server it's difficult to give any more advice.

I'm sure though as Windows 2016 server is a professional product there must be ways of scheduling jobs to run whether you are logged on or not.

That's why on the whole I prefer Linux boxes as servers - especially for running headless - really simple with things like CRONTAB to schedule tasks like backups to be run at specific times. You can get round this by running (if possible) an application in the background (on the server) so in fact having things like a music / video server running shouldn't be a problem as you can connect to it at any time. The problem basically is that if your server is running an application started by you then it will pause if your user becomes suspended - i.e in sleep mode or whatever.
