Dear Daniel:

All the GOES R series satellites in orbit have level 1b/2+ products that use 
the current geostationary projection parameters.  This currently includes 
GOES-16 and GOES-17.   There are two more planned GOES-R series satellites to 
be launched in the 2020s.

Getting the program/prime contractor to follow CF conventions was like pulling 
teeth. Be aware that if the current geostationary projection parameters are 
deprecated, I would be very surprised if the products for the yet to be 
launched GOES-R series satellites (T and U) will reflect any changes you are 
proposing.

Disclaimer:  I no longer (officially) support the program in any capacity.

very respectfully,

randy
