Can you give me some example when you really need to heel-n-toe to down shift? Wouldn't it make sense just hold the clutch and shift to the correct gear when slowing down?
Slowing down with the clutch in is unsafe. You should always be in gear. Heel and toe is to rev-match on the downshift. Saves wear on the clutch specifically, and drivetrain in general. I don't street race.

If you can't heel and toe, I recommend doing a rev matched downshift first, and then slowing down.
