I welcome the update as useful for development and testing, as long as 1.8 and 11 are
still available for parallel installation for production on Fedora Server (just to
emphasize and appreciate that planning).

I am for this change. Fedora should use the latest OpenJDK by default.
Required tooling changes (javapackages-tools etc.) that are needed to
build packages with OpenJDK 17 are ready to be pushed once the change
is accepted.
All my packages (Maven, Ant and their dependencies) were already
ported to Java 17, more info on java-devel list.
