a) over rev is not the right term, and no, it's not any better than lugging, in fact it'd be worse
b) if your car is under load (moving) and your car is near idle engine speed, it's not good.
c) picture yourself on a bicycle, if you are in a high gear and you're going too slow, your legs are gonna feel a lot of stress. just like the rods in your engine will feel if engine speed is too slow in relation to road speed.
Finally, FRS engine is not very tolerant of low RPM and you'd get a ratchety sound at low rpm under load. you have an entire safe rpm range from 1000 to 6000 (7000 if you really wanna rip it). Use it, over shifting your gear box doesn't do it any favors.
higher RPM up a hill is easier on your drive train as the engine can get the torque to apply to your wheels on a hill.
