I know chips are not too big of a deal, but how often do this many appear on a single coin? I think I see 9.

not often, that's a keeper IMO

the mint has been hardening the dies more, making them more brittle than they were in past year

I have another 2017 with the chip on the E in LIBERTY. If the second chip was on the T in STATES instead of the S, it may have been earlier progression. I'm assuming everything is stamped in 1 shot?

A fun find and low cost of ownership makes this one 2x2 worthy. Nice find!

If one die chip occurs on a coin, it may not take too many further strikes off the dies, for other chip to also appear.

Often depends on how well the dies were prepared to do their job.
