I've taken a few systems to Creators-1703 now, all with no problems so far (knock on wood).
I've never seen or heard of Creators-1703 messing with partitions. However, there was some talk of ... if it sees that the system is in UEFI Mode and the main disk is still MBR, it might automatically convert it to GPT (or prompt you to do it) ... something like that.
IIRC, AlienRespawn (and/or DBaR) don't function on Windows-10. I see no use for them using up valuable space on smaller bootable SSD with obsolete Recovery partitions.
After backing-up data, I think I would just clean-install Microsoft.com Windows-10 Media Creation Tool USB to blank SSD. See my Bookmarks for actual steps.
