Add SY8106A regulator to r_i2c bus and enable the r_i2c bus on
Orange Pi PC, then set the power supply of the ARM cores to this
regulator, in order to enable DVFS.

According to the H3 datasheet, the minimum voltage is 1.1V, not 1V.

But the Armbian OPP table for H3 contains several
OPP under 1.1V...

Can you provide a link?

If Armbian users have actually field tested this (a big if),
then I would like to see some evidence of the SoC running
stably at those OPPs with those lower voltages under full load.

See [1].

Even then you should still leave a note describing why we allow
voltages below the recommended range.

Is this an actual constraint of the SoC? Or is it a characteristic
of the regulator? If it is the latter, it belongs in the driver.
AFAIK the regulator supports varying the ramp delay (slew rate).

I don't know...

Maybe I should ask Ondrej?
