So you never downshift? You are always in to low or high a gear? There is no "risk", unnecessary or otherwise in downshifting to engine brake. When the car is moving it should always be in gear. This isn't a matter of saving money on engine wear vs brake pads it is just simple driving common sense. If that afraid of missing a downshift you should get an AT (there I said it) which manage to downshift all the time without issues.
