There is no hardware/ and software in the world capable of generating 17 character prefix address, not gonna lie you could generate that after 2^64 key gen operations.
I believe there should be some sort of fail safe in place to avoid losing coins when you make a mistake sending to a wrong script, maybe miners/ nodes should never accept to relay such transactions?
Also do you know how many zeros could RIPEMD-160 algo produce for a 160 bit hash? I guess it's not generating a certain fixed value.
