Anyone else with a P17 or similar notice that the barrel is not crowned? Would it not be better to have a crown for the sake of consistent accuracy with this El'cheapo pistol?

Don't own a P17 myself- but I can't see as how crowning the barrel properly could hurt anything.

I did my Marksman 2004, and there was some improvement. You will probably want to remove the barrel from the gun, which is not too hard. Two screws and it's out. I replaced those two wood-type screws with threaded metal anchors and machine screws, and then epoxy bedded the barrel. None of these mods are a magic solution, but each one incrementally improves the gun.

I'm happy with mine - it's a lot of gun for the price.

Did you mean choked as all barrels have a crown (though maybe
not a very good one)?
