i once had an old subaru with a transfer case. it has neutral, 4wdhi and 4wdlo and 2wd. when coasting in any of the ranges, i never had to put it in neutral to eoc..

on my dads landrover with a blazer diesel 4wd running gear we just pop it into neutral when going down a hill or whatever and it works fine like that.
We tow our Jeep behind our motor home, and need to put the transfer case in Neutral to do so. Other than that i didn't know that it could reduce rolling resistance.
