I didn't see any obvious announcement on the Information page or the Discussion thread, so thought I'd leave this here for the sake of anyone only now updating from 0.16 to 0.17 and wondering about this mod.
The current maintainer Klonan has mentioned that this mod is deprecated for 0.17 (because they've implemented similar functionality in the game directly with the blueprint overhaul in 0.17).
Klonan's original statement here: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/upgrade-planner/discussion/5c58315d7d3695000dfb2f5e
