Everytime you put a load on your engine or your clutch it's wear. Maybe normal wear, but wear nonetheless. I'd rather put it on my pads even if they're $40 a wheel!

When engine braking you are removing load not adding it. If you want to get technical you are actually putting more load and using more fuel by letting it idle vs letting it cut all fuel and ignition when decelerating.
