I drive 35mph-40 in 6th all the time. Sometimes leaving it in 6th when slowing down to a stop to engine brake. I doubt it would hurt anything leaving it

I drive 35mph-40 in 6th all the time. Sometimes leaving it in 6th when slowing down to a stop to engine brake. I doubt it would hurt anything leaving it in gear all the way down to 1500 RPMs. The damage comes in flooring it when the RPMs are low. But with gentle enough acceleration you won't really hurt anything as long as the car is moving.
