This is very useful info, thanks @pfeerick!
Using a GPIO as a 3.3v supply is a clever hack, I might have to try that
I'll also give the script a run next time I have things apart. I've designed a PCB around my current configuration, but it would be awesome if I could eliminate the LDO and replace the MPC23017 with the MCP23008 like you suggested before I order a batch of boards to cover all cluster nodes.
