Thats generally "unsafe" you would want to be in gear at all times to make sure you're able to move in the event of an emergency. Same goes for a manual.

I would only do this coming off hard braking when you want to prevent excess brake pad material depositing on your hot rotors. Otherwise it's just unnecessary.

Why would you want to do that? The handbrake wasn't designed to stop the car, only keep it stopped. Putting it in N won't really hurt anything (some very minor wear and tear when shifting back into gear; not enough to worry about) but using the parking brake to stop the car will wear it out and is unsafe to boot.
