In 6th gear, recommended low speed according to the owner's manual is around 35 mph. I would say no problems slowing down to that speed and then coasting/braking to a stop in neutral. But downshifting through the gears isn't going to put that much wear on them provided you do it properly.

In race car mode I believe best practice is to row through the gears when downshifting. But I'm no expect.

Heel-toe is a bit awkward because of the bottom fulcrum on the gas pedal. I find it easier to heel-toe when the gas pedal hangs down like the brake pedal does. The pros don't have any issues.
