Don't raise domain functional level. If you do, the Server 2012 DCs will no longer be able to service the domain.
My recommendation would be to create a central store. The central store can be created on the SYSVOL partition on any domain controller (SYSVOL replicates through DFS to all domain controllers) and then go to the domain folder and find the Policies folder. An easy way to access this would be to use the following UNC path: "FQDN of domainSYSVOLFQDN of domainPolicies".
From there, presuming that a PolicyDefinitions folder has not yet been configured, none will exist. Go to a Server 2016 DC and copy the C:WindowsPolicyDefinitions folder to the aforementioned directory.
This will copy all of the ADMX files over to the central store where all DCs can access them, including Server 2012 DCs.
