Don't worry if it gets rejected - you are considered as filed on time.
If your return is pending, you should be fine. Your submitted e-filed return doesn't need to be accepted on May 17 for it to be considered on-time. As long as you transmitted your return by 11:59 p.m. local time on May 17 you should be fine.
If your return is rejected on May 17 you'll have through May 22 to re-submit your federal return by e-file, or mail your return.
