Being totally ignorant on the subject, I would think shifting at high rpms would cause the clutch to heat up faster and thus see excessive wear, when compared to holding the clutch while keeping the revs around 1-1.5K for several seconds to get over a bump.

I know you should try to avoid riding the clutch at low RPMs, but given this is a high revving motor that you need to get over 5K for any sort of power, low rpm "slipping" shouldn't be too much of a concern, right? or wrong?
When the clutch (pedal) is fully depressed, there isn't any wear on the clutch disk, in a properly adjusted clutch system........(jest ah messen wich ya .....)

I reckon you're right, slipping the clutch, at low rpms when necessary shouldn't cause excessive wear.
