The worst things is those level shift chips are really hard to obtain and very expensive......
I choose ti TXB0104 and TPS62743, or an adjustable LDO is ok.(From datasheets, you can change TPS62743's voltage during running by changing vsel pins.)
of course you can make a power switch if your system has both 1.8V and 3.3V rails, for example mp5095)
These chips are really really common and very cheap.
