Bingo, except the mileage stored in the PCM/ECM won’t match the cluster so not sure how that affects things.
Can you tune a factory pcm in a 2017 ram 1500?

Only affects things if the dealer goes digging,and they usually only go that deep if it's a big warrenty claim,and you're screwed anyways,as they'll be able to tell the pcm has been swapped.Hell they can tell how many times you've disconnected the battery if they want to look,lol

If the idle is the main thing, because you wanna make sure the cam lifters are getting the right amount of oil, then just replace the oil pump with a milling 10452HV and put the blue spring in. Milling has fixed the issue so that the engines getting the right amount of oil at idle and there will not be any codes thrown at you. Relatively easy job to do and it’s only a few hundred dollars for the pump

That still doesn't cure the issue,no matter what Sky at Reignited says,as there is "no" pressurized oil fed to the lifter roller or the cam lobe,they still get their lubrication from crank splash,and the only way to get more oil onto the cam lobe at idle,is to up the idle rpm.If you pull the oil pan,you can look up from the bottom of the engine and see the cam lobes,as they're out in the open in the crankcase,with no oil fed to them.
