I would argue - NO.
Properly downshifting does not cause any additional wear on the clutch friction material.
If you are lazy or unskilled, then yes.
Does it cause more wear on the throwout bearing? - yes but not as much as those that sit at red lights holding the clutch in.
That is almost the same question as: Does shifting without using the clutch cause friction material wear?
