Sorry, not sorry.. Stop doing this, your transmission is designed to brake in drive.

Although, since this can be accomplished with paddle shifters, perhaps accidentally shifting into Reverse is not a problem here. I'd argue from a safety standpoint, if you needed to accelerate in an emergency situation, remaining in drive would make you go ZOOOOOOM (getting out of the way), instead of going ZINGGGG (revving on a neutral transmission). Carry on.
