Few bypasses doesn't harm... specially after long cable.

I2C/INT Pullups are on the phone side (to 1.8V) so I (again) recommend using 1.8V LDO to supply TCA8424 to quarantee operation... (Datasheet: DVCC - The I2C bus should be pulled up to this rail.) Maybe it is enough to follow regulator capacitor rules, or just add one 100nF close to DVCC/GND pins.

Just make it good enough...

(at least one to see that everything is ok) Those are opendrain outputs, so can connect anode to 3.3V through resistor (just not to load 1.8V LDO)
