You need to give it some gas to rev-match (at higher speeds), but a low rpm and speed, it'll be OK just using the clutch.
Besides, it's only a short dot of gas you need to give it when rev-matching.
After that, you go back to engine braking / DFCO right away, and using no gas.

Brake pads are indeed cheaper than a new clutch
That's why you better let the speed decay first before shifting down.
Looking far ahead on the road, you should be able to anticipate speed changes by lifting your right foot, without requiring shifting down at high speed / rpm.
