I'm looking to upgrade my early 2011 Macbook Pro with more memory and an SSD.
Are the "specifications" from Apple bullshit? Is there any reason I can't put 2x8 GB 1600 MHz in?

RAM is RAM.
Any SO-DIMM DDR3 will work in it.
What about heating issues?

You're assuming that the BIOS will recognize the sticks, which it may or may not.
is the limitations of chipsets and cpu controller, you can try put 8+4 so 12 gb and see if it boot.

16GB will work.
Apple just never officially sold it with more than 8GB.
