Late 2016 - Mid 2017 MacBookPros (MBPs) with Generation 5 SSDs (PCIe 3.0 
x4 NVMe) do work with linux kernel >= 4.11 [1].

MacBookPro13,3 (it uses a Samsung NVMe controller) also works with 
kernel < 4.11. In contrast, MacBookPro13,1, MacBookPro13,2, 
MacBookPro14,1, and MacBookPro14,2 (they have an Apple NVMe controller) 
need a kernel patch with kernel < 4.11 [1].

I would think that kernel >= 4.11 supports Trascend JetDrive 850, but 
since different controllers have a different level of support I can't 
say it for sure. For the time being I have found no reports on this SSD 
with linux.
