I think I am going to wait a few months on mine, Of course any dealership should be able to change out a head gasket but I wouldn't mind if they had practice on someone else's RS.

Ya, got the FSA letter a few weeks ago (MY '17, build date of Oct 2016). I spoke to a Ford Service tech I know and he said there is a huge backorder on the headgaskets right now (for obvious reasons). I went ahead and scheduled the leak test to "get on the list" since they have to do the check first before they can order the parts, but won't be taking the car back until they give me a call that the part is ready, then I'll take my rental while they do the swap.
But ya, I don't blame ya. My car has been doing "ok" lately, has what I think might be a slow trans leak, but was assured was just "weeping" and burning coolant VERY slowly (I'm talking going from MAX to MIN on the coolant reservoir in 6 mos which may be normal). Not bad considering I've been taking the car to 1-2 track days a month over the last 6 mos and semi-regular canyon runs in the foothills on top of daily driving.
