Hi, the specifications of the  VL53L0X said that recommended input voltage is between 2.5 and  3.5V

I have test it on a prototype at 2V and works fine at short range  (150 mm). 

Which problems can i experience?

If the only problems is  have a reduced range or less accurate measurements it's fine. It will be only on for a few samples  and it will be turned of through Xshut pin.
