minimal vignetting with these lenses without any tilt-shift applied but there is slight barrel distortion that is easily corrected but the vignetting with shift is not automatically corrected by current image editors as the combination is not yet supported
seems to have issues with recording the correct EXIF data

Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L tilt shift lens becomes eq. to a 19mm and field of view makes it a better choice for interiors than the 17mm on these cameras while pano stitching works well to get wider if needed but you do get some corner vignetting on full shift which may require cropping
Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L tilt shift lens becomes eq. to a 13.5mm but you do get some corner vignetting on full shift but probably can get away without cropping and the angle of view becomes too wide for most interior shots as you need to get too close to furniture which causes distortion
