Hello,
To the OP's question -- there is a huge difference between coasting in neutral with the engine idling, and EOC.
IMO, costing in neutral with the engine idling presents zero safety issues, if you are driving the way you should -- i.e. keeping an eye on what is going on all around you.
EOC, in my car at least presents a serious challenge to maintaining control (both steering and braking are very difficult), and so for me, EOC does present a large increase in risk.
