I won't EOC, myself. I feel it's causing more wear and tear on other parts.
If I'm coasting at 55, and I put it in 5th gear to start up to make a hill ... that's wear on the synchronizer.
Pop starting wears the clutch. It can be hard on the converters. It can damage motor mounts. Starters are $200 ... good way to wear out a starter. Ignition switches are also expensive too for newer cars with the transponders.
Safe? As long as you're not one of those drivers that taps the brakes every other second, that's not an issue. Power steering systems usually have some sort of variable pumping system - at highway speeds, there's virtually no power steering assist anyway.
