This assumes that the current it draws is the same for all operations, and I don't know if this is safe to say. As the current drawn by the '816 changes, so will its supply voltage, unless the resistive divider is very robust (in terms of current) indeed. Since a 13 megahertz 65816 is going to be a pretty penny (does anyone know how much, in small quantity?), I'd probably spring for the two-buck regulator.
