I put a tune on mine before it was even out of warranty, and never regretted it.

Better throttle response, better strategies for towing, and you can change rev limiters, speed limiters, and fix the speedo on tire size.

IMO, the master of tuning F150s for the real world is Mike at 5STAR tuning.

The only time my truck is not in sport mode is when I am travelling by interstate for a long trip. Then I put it in Eco mode

Thats a good question.
Does Sport mode in addition to changing shift patterns also play around with cam timing, fuel/air ratios, etc.
Could be my imagination but my 5.0's engine/exhaust does sound a little different when in Sport Mode.

According to my '16 Owner's manual, no mention of any engine changes other than shift patterns and possibly throttle response.

yeah...I noticed that too. I think its just a product of the different throttle response, and the transmission holding the gears longer. The butterfly on the throttle body opens quicker and more air rushes in, that air then goes out the exhaust. There is nothing active in the exhaust system.

I forgot about AdvanceTrac Sport mode... Mine will squeal the tires from a dead stop in just sport on the shifter (33x12.5 mud tires with 20x10-18 wheels, about 105lbs/corner) up until about 35mpg, stock tuning. These 5.0's are no slouch. Lol. I'm curious what all "sport" mode changes as well. I know throttle response and shifting change, but I'm curious if it does anything in the engine.
