toc- What's wrong with having to change gears? What's so disturbing about EOC at higher speeds? I feel safer then because the car is easier to steer and bump starts don't need the brief mental pause to pick the right gear.

You'll lose brake booster function (which is from the vacuum of the engine).
The increased wear on the clutch and engine from many restart cycles (and at every 15 seconds or so, that's a lot of cycling on / off of the engine). I remember reading somewhere also the electrics can be sensitive to the rapid voltage changes that can occur by bump starting (because the voltage can bounce around a bit when starting whilst moving).
That might damage the ECU for example?
