I haven't seen Maya 2017 yet so I don't know if the details of what has changed. But I just recently needed to integrate a custom editor into the tabbed attribute editor dock location, in 2016. I went through the Qt route, which gave me direct communication with the Qdockwidgets and ability to respond to events and signals. And the width is controlled via the size hints of the docked child widget. This meant I didn't need to deal with the limited Maya cmds wrappers.
