IMO, there is a very, very, very large chance we will default even given no deal by 10/17.

How do you get that conclusion from those two points? I can almost guarantee that the executive branch wouldn't purposefully choose to not service our debt given prioritization. The biggest threat of a default would be a drastic drop in tax receipts.

I agree that Obama would use his executive authority at some point - but before it got that bad, Treasuries will have already had to have taken a big hit.
