Just off the top of my head (without doing in-depth research in the to PinePhone specs), potential gotchas:
1) The 1V8 power supply cannot cope with the additional power demand (just cause "it boots" doesn't mean it will be fine in all scenarios).
2) The SKU of the chip used cannot operate (or is not guaranteed to operate) at the higher speed + lower voltage.
3) The phone stops being EMC compliant.
A bit of research, probing and testing can answer those questions and screen for others. The PinePhone seems like it is aimed at a very technical crowd so I'm sure someone will figure it out :)
