If you write an immediate custom action to schedule deferred and rollback actions, then you've already used up 3 slots right there for one logical custom action. Add an equivalent set of 3 actions for uninstall and you've consumed a total of 6 slots for a single logical operation pair.
I personally hope that 16 was only an arbitrary choice and that it can be increased to a much higher number. Luckily I've been fortunate enough to get away with much simpler one-off custom actions thus far... Edwin G.
