I coast regularly, gears are for going and brakes are for stopping. All this vroom vroom vroom downshifting coming to a stop sign is bad for the clutch. I simply kick it into neutral, coast til I brake and then rev match if I need to roll through a stop or put it in first to take off from a stop sign. Once you give up the rowing down through the gears it seems silly why you did it in the first place. Brake pads are a lot easier and cheaper to replace than a clutch.
