Not shifting to neutral heats up the transmission fluid and increases idle consumption. I always shift to neutral at stops in an auto.
Anyways to the OP's question, the transmission autoblips so there should be little to no wear on the transmission. Some automatics drag the rpms up with the clutch packs, but that doesn't apply here. Engine braking saves wear on your brake pads and as long as you don't go too high it won't hurt the engine at all
Besides all that nonsense, it's fun, so why not.
