The only big difference is the screw placement on the motherboard. At the time of this video, there is no updated guide for the 2017 iMac however, it's very similar to the 2014-2015 A1419 model. They are well illustrated-provide adequate caution and warning for tricky areas-and have a community section where people provide advice. I recommend checking the guides on iFixit.
