This is a tough call as Bach does not have anything shallower with that rim. It is nominally 17 but has a different shape than the 1D rim which is also 17. You should not assume that the same rim with a shallower cup will work - until you have tried it.
I have ALWAYS used a smaller mouthpiece for lead work. In my Bach mouthpiece days it was a 10 1/2E and a 1 1/4C with no problems switching.
