I would do a "hard reboot" first. After the update the phone will be doing a bunch of background things but that shouldn't last more than a few hours at most.
It's going to be warm for about an hour or so depending on how many photos you have on your phone. It's likely re-scanning the face data for Photos, and otherwise re-indexing and cleaning up the install files. You would have the exact same heat if you reverted back to iOS 10, since it would need to do the exact same thing. Give it a few hours / leave it plugged into a power source.
My current 6+ was running very warm for a good hour or 2 after the update last night. I just chalked it up that this was "indexing files." as usual. The phones always did this after massive updates like this - and this one is big! I would give it a few hours. Hard reset as mentioned helps.
13 hours after the update, my 6+ is running fine, no "warming" issues.
