The Curt Q20 5th wheel hitch like the # C16536 you'd looked at is compatible with industry standard 5th wheel bed rails like what's included with the B&W # BWRVK2402 5th wheel install bracket/rail kit.
The hitch and that rail kit are compatible and will work perfectly with your 2021 Ford F-250.
That being said, I personally prefer the Curt A20, part # C16541 hitch instead (assuming you don't already have the hitch). The hitch uses an interlocking jaw that does a better job of holding the king pin than the jaws of the Q20 would. This would make for a smoother, more comfortable ride. The price differential is about what you'd pay for a good lunch.
If you'd like to install a 7-way trailer connector in the truck bed so you don't have to run the trailer connector whip up over the tailgate, you can do so using part # 20110-010
I've linked to demonstration videos for the Curt Q and A series hitches, as well as a video for the rail kit, where my buddy Rob will show to to complete the installation.
