Short answer:
There's no definite answer to that question.
Longer answer:
I doubt such date has already been decided. It's largely driven by the
time required to fix known issues and any potential new issues
discovered during the BETA and RC process. If you want to track the
progress, feel free to look at the project's Jira boards, there's a 5.0
GA board dedicated for that.
Furthermore, it's likely there will only be an experimental support for
Java 17 in Cassandra 5.0, which means it shouldn't be used on production
environments.
So, would you like to keep waiting indefinitely for the Java 17 official
support, or run Cassandra 4.1 on Java 11 today and upgrade when newer
version becomes available?

Thanks for your reply.
As Cassandra has moved to Java 17 in it's *5.0-BETA1* (Latest release
on 2023-12-05). Can you please let us know when the team is planning
to GA Cassandra 5.0 version which has Java 17 support?

Why Java 17? It makes no sense to choose an officially non-supported
library version for a piece of software. That decision making process
is the problem, not the software's library version compatibility.
