It takes very little mechanical torque to spin our engines. Once wheel speed is connected to the engine via the wrong gear, the engine will overrev and you can damage the engine.
I suggest OP to take the car to have a leakdown test performed, to make sure the valvetrain is still okay.

Do you have proof? Not talking shit or anything I'm just curious.
Having ridden in a 86 with someone who did not know how to drive manual the best the downshifted from 3rd to 2nd not as a over rev but when doing this they just dropped the clutch and did not rev match at all. The braking force made from this was pretty intense shoving me forward in my seat. I could completely see going from 3k RPM in 6th to letting off the clutch in 2nd would create a massive amount of braking force even before fuel cut.
