any chance the 1.8 and 3.3 can be split into two chips? I'm at least very interested in and attempting to characterize core power draw and not having the IO included would be helpful for that. Is anyone else interested in power characterization of their design?

Power characterization must be doable on the board. I have not looked at the files yet, but my original drawing for the board schematic in the caravel documenation called for pin headers that allowed each of the voltage regulator outputs to be connected to the VDD supply, or for either or both voltage outputs to be decoupled from the chip and replaced from an off-chip source.
Beware that the board is being done by people who are used to making demonstration boards but not test boards. Make sure that they understand the difference!
