As far as I can tell, yes. You can use the the same toolchain for 4.17 as 4.16 uses. (-v9 clang-4.0.0-based)
I am running a Linux dedicated server on 4.17 that I compiled using the 4.16 toolchain without issues.
Yes, it is the same as for 4.16 - I updated the wiki page.
Thanks for updating the wiki. Can the docs be updated as well? Cross-Compiling for Linux | Unreal Engine Documentation

The 4.17 uses same toolchain but 4.18 uses new toolchain based on Clang 5.0.
