There is no crime in holding the top end of your range when you open 1N.

I think the correct way to approach these kinds of questions is to use HCP values as a yardstick but measure hands on their trick taking potential. The real question being asked here is whether this hand's trick taking expectation is closer to that of an average balanced 17 or an average balanced 18. Once you understand the question in that way, phrases like 'maximum', 'top end of your range' or 'upgrading' are no longer useful.
