The trouble with returning the same dtype for uint16 values is that there's no easy way to have a missing value for uint16.

I don't entirely remember why we don't allow other in where if drop=True, but indeed that seems like a clean solution.

I suspect it might have something to do with alignment. But as long as other is already aligned with the result of aligning self and other (e.g., if other is a scalar, which is probably typical), then it should be fine allow for the other argument.
