While I understand your concerns, there are too many possible variations in driving style and conditions to make any practical "rules" regarding hypermiling techniques.
Most of us are adult enough to determine what driving style is safe and responsible for our own particular conditions.

As an example: I work a rotating shift, the commute route is the same on any shift, but the conditions change depending on start time.
As a result of me adapting my driving techniques to suit conditions (other drivers), I usually get worse FE on day shift.
I accept that reduced FE as a reasonable trade for my safety and reduced stress levels.
