It's not any more wrong to downshift a 7AT than it is to downshift a 6MT. But, generally speaking, I wouldn't downshift a 7AT to first (just like, generally speaking, I wouldn't downshift any MT into first) while the car is moving. Not to mention that the 7AT does a pretty good job of deciding on its own when to downshift.

This is absolutely correct. Engine no go boom if you try to down shift to too low of a gear.

The car does beep at you quite a bit though
