I am about to commission a new indoor Stainless Steel pool and am looking at a fully automated salt chlorination system but am concerned this may affect the 316 stainless. Should I upgrade to Duplex Stainless Steel or perhaps look at Ozone? Any thoughts and advice much appreciated.

Welcome to TFP.
Ozone is not an approved method of water sanitation.

Any form of chlorine you add to the pool will be adding salt which will accumulate in the water over time. So you will end up with a “salt” pool eventually no matter what you do.
You will have a liner that should keep pool water from contacting the metal walls. Proper installation and maintenance is necessary to maintain that barrier.
Get the highest quality stainless steel walls your budget allows. Or consider resin walls instead.

Indoor pools are much more complex to maintain than outdoor pools. It's hard to advise on limited info so if you want help, you need to post more about this build as well as it's location and the room details it will be in. If you don't do an indoor pool correctly you can create a number of intractable headaches down the line ...

Unlined stainless pools are a thing, more popular in Europe right now but I wouldn't be surprised if they grow in popularity in the US.
