Many thanks for the fast on point answer.

I had read this part of the release note, but did not think it would 
apply to functions defined in PUBLIC (as it was part of the default 
search_path)

ALTER FUNCTION ... SET search_path = public;

fixed my script in 17.x, indeed.

Thanks a lot, sorry for not finding out by myself.

Take care,
