I Have Done one of the Project with Hyper-V 2012 with Cluster Configuration

1) I have Upgraded In place Windows 2012 R2 Server to windows 2016 

Point to Keep In mind You need to Make Sure the Liceses are Properly valid As Per Microsoft thr licesing is CPU Core Based 

I have esaly Upgraded the Hyper 2012 to 2016 in place, make Sure all the VMs Moved to Other Cluster Node & make Sure the Storage Volume are Supported to New Windows server 2016.

Create a cluster with your Hyper-V servers (failover role), then move (live migration) the VMs from the Host that will be upgraded and perform the upgrade

In our clusters 1 node to perform a Windows 2016 upgrade/install. After the upgrade and reconfiguration we re-join the node to the cluster. Rinse repeat for all cluster nodes.
