I have SAGA 2.3.1 running with QGIS 2.18.3 on Ubuntu 16.10 without 
ubuntugis dependencies for some time now, and it does not throw me out 
with the vector tool I tried. It might well be that some algs parameters 
have been changed in SAGA, but not yet in processing.

If you depend on certain features, put Ubuntugis in a virtual box, and 
try it with some test projects of yours.

HTH,
