I’m guessing this is due to the character size variations so the position of the text is recalculated by tiny fractions. Is there a way to allow for this in the x and y position? I’ve tried with max_glyph_h, but I think it would need to know the height of all characters to come as it doesn’t make any difference.

OK, I added "-ascent” to the y coordinate and that fixed the text juddering. Here is the final filter:
drawtext=fontsize=60:fontcolor=white:text='%{eif\:(n+0)/16\:d}+%{eif\:mod((n+0),16)\:d\:02d}':x=200:y=75-ascent
