coasting is fine in most modern vehicles as when you take your foot off the pedal as long as the revs are above idle no fuel will be injected into the cylinders...................just leave the car in gear and take your foot off the pedal.

I have a CVT and it has a wet clutch. Coasting should be fine in it as long as it is in 'drive' - it depends on the gearbox but in my case this allows both cones to rotate. This will turn the engine over but also pump oil onto my primary cone (which is connected to the engine side) - and you really do want a lubricated cone! If the cone were to remain static with no oil that could easily mean damage being done............
