On paper yes for the first months at least, however superzooms like 50-400 tend to deteriorate rapidly, with a few exceptions like Canon 28-300.
I know a friend of mine who had Tamron 28-300, he was happy with it the first months then recurrent problems started arising.
Don't expect a durability and reliability like on Canon 16-35f4, in your shoes I would stick to Canon 16-35f4 rather than going Tamron 17-50
