I finally decided to replace my leaking evaporator core (2016 EcoBoost). I'd been having symptoms for a while, and had been topping of the refrigerant charge every 4 or 5 months for the last year and a half or so. The car was still under warranty when the problem first appeared, but I didn't like the idea of someone else going that deep into my car, so I decided to do it myself. I bought the evaporator kit from Ford, about $180 shipped to me, downloaded the TSB, and dove in! I've got the factory shop manual, and it does a very good job of describing the work. The job took about 8 or 9 hours, spread over two days. I've pulled other dash panels before, and this one came out as easy as any others I've done. The leaks on the evaporator seemed to be coming from the top edge. The leak check dye showed up very well under a UV light.
