If it swaps places with Arabsat 6A then it would still be possible (but probably not April, I'm guessing F9 Block 5 doesn't even debut until mid-April.)



Elon indicated that the single stick block 5 debut flight would be in a couple of months.



In this context, I think STP-2's launch date is going to be highly contingent on the launch of Arabsat 6A, which will in essence be the debut of an entirely new iteration of Falcon Heavy derived from Block 5. If SpaceX is also required to build an entirely new Block 5 Falcon Heavy for STP-2 on top of the new vehicle for Koreasat, late 2018 may be a more realistic launch window.
