Lajos, if you like it what you've done, how can it be too much?
If, on the other hand, you're asking if 16% rutile is too much for a liner
glaze for food or liquids, or if you mean that 16% might be wasteful as 8%
could obtain the same effect, well, those are different questions.
I don't have answers

16% rutile in a glaze is very likely to give you problems with
pinholes.
I start having trouble with anything over 8%.
Other than that, if it works and you like it, go for it.
You might want to try a line blend, to see if less rutile will
give you the same effect.
Just mix up a batch of the base glaze with no rutile, then
try different mixtures, such as
90% of your 16% rutile glaze and 10% of the plain glaze
80% and 20%
70% and 30%
etc.
