I've been using startx on stretch for a couple months, with no problems. I login as my non-root user on tty1, and run 'startx', and it just works. This is on two different machines, both using Intel graphics. Here's one of them: wooledg:~$ uname -a Linux wooledg 4.9.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.30-2 (2017-06-12) x86_64 GNU/Linux wooledg:~$ lspci -nn | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 [8086:1912] (rev 06) wooledg:~$ sudo dmesg | grep firmware [ 3.796473] [drm] GuC firmware load skipped [ 3.802454] i915 0000:00:02.0: firmware: direct-loading firmware i915/skl_dmc_ver1_26.bin
