It does mean significant operational downtime: https://www.technology.org/2023/01/02/did-you-know-f-16-fighting-falcon-needs-17-hours-of-maintenance-for-every-hour-of-flight/

You might be misunderstanding that statistic.

That's something like, this Squadron had n hours flight time and consumed n*17 hours maintenance.

That doesn't mean a 1 hour flight increases required maintenance by 17 hours.
