I see that #Minecraft 1.17 has come out recently. Given that there are in fact worldgen changes, and I run a server, can someone tell me if it's still the same situation as previous ones - no back-compat, but newly-generated chunks will contain the new content?

Ahhh I see :0! That sounds about right.
Aye, as usual the wiki does a great job of summarizing it: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Java_Edition_1.17 … The biome changes, major mountain/cave-gen changes, and world-height increase have been held off for 1.18. But more broadly, it seems that things like copper ore, etc. will still gen in 1.17.
