I was going to say it works, but reading up on the differences, the cam and crank sensor plates from 2017 will confound a 2016 ECU. Swapping the ECU may be more trouble than it's worth: 2017 has a different charging system (controlled by the ECU over a one wire network), different battery sensing and wiring, same with the revised fuel pressure sensor and crank sensor. I don't know how the ECU will jive with the rest of the car from a wiring/compatibility standpoint, but slapping ECUs around (assuming you've got the full harness to go with it) prepare to deal with the engine immobiliser not wanting to go.
