Of the potential hazards mentioned by 99kleansi, the only one I find credible is possible bearing journal wear. Starting a car by kissing the clutch adds no electrical or starter load at all, obviating the supposed "horrible" wear on those components. Similarly, cylinder wall scuffing from a warm start is negligible in comparison to coasting down a long downhill in gear in DFCO, which most cars do.
