Yes, you'll be fine. I heel-and-toe all the time when taking cruises through twisty roads or even just around town for fun (not at very high revs for the latter). Just make sure your technique is good and you're not shocking the engine by popping out the clutch when it's not rev-matched.

I engine brake all the time. As long as it's done correctly, you will be fine and it will make you a better driver.

If anything its your clutch taking the abuse, your engine is more than capable of it

Manual states to always engine brake, because it's "illegal in many states" to coast with the car in nuetral

more importantly, neutral is a gear but not designed for coasting, you can hurt your trans by driving at speed in neutral..... no crap
