A Schottky will drop .3V; That's within the range (±10%) specified in the specs

Yes. But now you have given up all of your tolerance so you better have a perfect (or over-voltage) power supply. This means that you now have less choice in power supply.
As a parent commenter said, you could also put a diode for your circuitry. You would then have a single 3.7V supply.

And 10% higher power draw just for this one feature. No, there are better ways to solve this.
