Absolutely not. A stable update is generally - and at most - normal
severity.

Please use standard metadata for p-u bugs, and at the very least
mention the package in the subject if not...

That would be higher than the version in unstable, so would be
inappropriate. (and appears to be missing a Debian package revision,
but I assume that's simply a typo and you meant 2.16.1-1+deb10u1.)

You want 2.16.1-0+deb10u1 or 2.16.1-1~deb10u1, with an appropriate
changelog stanza on top of either the current stable package or the
unstable upload, depending on which way you go.

Is the new package compatible with Thunderbird 68 as well?

Please bear the above in mind before doing so.
