Hi Baode:
The voltage 1.7V is the lowest voltage for MCU’s VDD pin, so if the voltage below this level, the MCU will reset surely.
When program or erase, MCU will need bigger current, see below pic. So when you add decoupling capacity, which will save power and release when MCU need this power in short time.
So you could add this capacity or use other LDO, which could provide enough current quickly.
