As of August 18th 2019 on PS4: I abandoned my current task (needed 3 scans to complete the Nightwave, assigned 2), and was immediately able to ask Simaris for another; I lucked out and got a task to scan 3 crawlers.

So, it seems you should be safe to abandon a task without being locked out until the reset.
