I'm not sure I understand why you think you need the 150mm system. The 100mm filters will cover a 17mm lens; at least they work on my 16-35mm and 24mm TSE lenses. You don't need to worry about the shift function since the filter is fixed to the front of the lens and moves up and down (or side to side) with the shift movement. You could easily put a screw-in filter onto the lens and it will work just as well, so I don't see your problem.

Do you mistakenly think that the lens shift moves the location of the lens centre across the plane of the filter ring? That might be causing your confusion.

The 100mm filter system won't mount on the TS-E, because it doesn't have filter threads
