16 MHz is enough to poll sensors or run a Modbus RTU slave.
Within the MSP430FR2310 family, the base number MSP430FR2310 shares the same pinout across the IPW (TSSOP-16) package variants. For higher memory density, the MSP430FR2433 (8 KB FRAM) or MSP430FR2355 (32 KB FRAM) are pin-compatible in the same TSSOP-16 footprint, but verify the peripheral set differences — the FR2355 adds a 12-bit DAC and more ADC channels.
The core runs at 16 MHz. That is the maximum CPU clock; the peripheral bus operates at the same frequency. For timing-critical I²C or SPI, the internal oscillator is trimmed to within ±1% at 25°C, adequate for most sensor communication.
