Well, I'd normally say yes, but it kinda depends on the drop-out value of the specific regulator you use. If running on 2s, the nominal value is 7.4v. Many regulators can have a drop-out value as high as 1.5v, which would put you under the 6v mark. And near the LVC point, the output could dip down below 5v. If running a 5v UBEC, that should be fine though. But running switching regulators so close to the drop out value might make them a little more unstable (noisier output).
