If you can't wait for an update you can edit the mod manually to make it working again by editing 2 files. Go into %AppData%/Factorio/Mods or whereever your mods folder is located and open ore-eraser_1.4.1.zip.
1: Open info.json and edit line 4 "factorio_version": "0.16" to "factorio_version": "0.17".
2: Open prototypes/ore-eraser.lua and remove line 7 flags = {"goes-to-quickbar"},
I tried removing some patches, saving and reloading the map and everything seemed to be working fine. Only issue I could find is that the item was not searchable in the crafting menu. Just back up your saves before testing it out.
