I have written a deep-dive blog post, which you may be interested in reading, on the relatively new AUTOLOCATE feature. It is a lot more far-reaching than it seems from just reading the manual. (With thanks to HCL Support for initially pointing out its use.)

Very interesting! What about index placement? Is the same logic applied to this? We tend to put indexes in dbspases with 16KB pages

It is a good question and I haven't looked into it yet. 16 kB for all indices would not be a bad strategy, if that is what it does.
