Not exactly... The correct strategy when late surrender is allowed for 16 vs 10 is to Surrender/Stand. This is true for any number of decks for both S17 and H17 - Cacarulo first pointed this out on the BJMath page for S17 and it's also true for H17. I don't know how the count effects this though:

Also, for 1D H17 DOA NDAS LS the play for T,5 (Surrender, Hit) is not the same as for a Total Dependent 15 (Hit):

*Disclaimer: Strategy decisions that I give only use pre-split hands and do not yet include the post-split hands in the calculations. I believe this is also true for everyone elses strategies that are quoted as well though, and they are unlikely to change once they are included.
