Could a different buck converter save power? The DROK Analog USB uses 40mW more than the lower board of the DROK Buck Converter 5V-30V to 0.8-29V.
Turning the PWM off when it is not needed saves 3mW:

PWM on: 418.3mW | PWM off: 415.3mW |
Finally, from https://youtu.be/urLSDi7SD8M
Letting unused digital IO pins on the Arduino not float (set as output, input, or use pullup resistors) can save 4mA!
