I disagree. I remember having to tweak DTS in the past to force some
regulators outputs, and then they would be always turned on. If all
sub-systems were power-supply/regulator-aware, that kind of hack would
not be needed.

True. We might be able to mitigate this by delaying turning off the
regulator; Turning it on would be an immediate action, turning it off
would be delayed by a configurable amount of ms. That should take care
of the max blinking rate and reduce the overhead for a LED that changes
states quite often (like a mass storage indicator)
