What clutch? Correct me if I'm wrong but the 370Z 7AT does not have a clutch. It is a torque converter transmission or as it is sometimes referred to as a "slushbox". But it is an extremely good one that has very tight shifts almost mimicking a clutch-type auto.

Soooo, I don't think you harmed anything if it's driving fine. I also think the electronic controls within the tranny would have probably prevented any harmful shifts.

If I remember correctly the computer cuts throttle on an unloaded engine at high RPM. Can't remember the cutoff ATM.

Hmm not sure about the 370Z AT, but I thought they might use these clutch bands. Not sure what they are really called.
I mean there has to be some piece that will competely disconnect the transmission from the engine in Neutral.

But yes, I agree, the 370Z AT is still one of the best. I never annoyed me so far as compared to some VW DSGs...

In neutral, all the clutch bands*are disengaged.

* there may be a more technical name, but that's what I've heard them called over the last 45 years or so. https://www.google.com/search?q=clut...2Btransmission
