Even 24V would be pusing it with a linear regulator.  Only 53mA is 1W
dissipation in a linear regulator dropping 24V to 5V.  If you're going to
use linear regulators anyway, then higher voltage will only make things
worse.  You don't get the extra power carrying capacity of the wire and burn
up a lot more power in heat in the modules.
