Yep, obsessive pulse and EOC killed my clutch over about 2 years. But note that this was
excessive - virtually my entire commute consisted of pulses and glides. You can get 90% of the benefits by just sticking to the long hills and coasts to stopped cars/lights for EOC, which I now do. And now I use the starter motor in preference to the clutch to restart the car.
Pulse and keeping the engine on in neutral can probably be done with minimal impact if you take care to match rpm when shifting back.
