iOS 17
I’m concerned about this update and want to hear what others are saying about it for their iPads and iPhones. I don’t have much space on my phone as it’s older.
Do I HAVE TO update to this system?

In what way are you concerned? Update to iPadOS 17.1.1 from iPadOS 16.x is entirely optional.
iPadOS 16 continues to receive updates at this time. At some point - as yet undisclosed by Apple - devices capable of update to iPadOS 17.x will require update to iPadOS 17 in order to receive ongoing functional and security updates.

If you already have iPadOS 16.x installed, you should notice little if any changes to your existing Home Screen layout.
Depending upon your current configuration, you might see some additional App icons or Widgets.
Thank you for your reply. If I update to 17, will it change my screen or is that optional? Are all the things listed that the update has completely optional?
Grateful for your help.

iPadOS 17 introduces new features and capabilities - that are not available within iPadOS 16:
I understand that. But will it change my Home Screen without my permission?
Thank you. I will make the update. I’m grateful for your help. Be well and Happy Holidays 😊
You're very welcome.
