I think you would still want to run the Jetson directly from the unregulated power.

The present kit includes a more than ample 12V @ 5A (60W) power supply. NVIDIA is evaluating smaller power supplies
for the production kit, since the reasonable stressful applications NVIDIA has tested so far are below 30W (12V @ 2.5A).
They also mention the 12v only directly powering the fan and SATA power, so if you're not running a 12v SATA drive (not aware of any SSDs that use that), the only unregulated load on the Jetson is the fan.
