I'd use the DAC for software voltage tuning.
Use 0R to select which bank uses which (default rail or programmable
one, with just default to have 1/2 bank being the programmable vio).

No.  As you explained I think it's better to split functions and not
overload this board.

Does that mean the SAMD core would be running from the reference clock
? (and so wouldn't run if there is no reference connected)

Cheers,
