That's not going to work well - different regulators have wildly different abilities to deliver current which is the whole reason why modes are so fuzzy and hard to use in the first place. A high power load for a low noise regulator designed to feed analogue circuits might not even make it out of the lowest power LDO mode of a DCDC designed to supply the main application processors in the system or (more relevantly) provide the main step down for a bunch of LDOs.
