If power assist was the reason eocing is dangerous then power assist would be mandatory on all vehicles.
The potential rear-ending accident example presented earlier would not be caused by coasting per se, but by the driver not being aware of his surroundings and driving accordingly.
I got rear-ended once, there was traffic ahead and the guy behind me wasn't looking when I braked. I am pretty sure most rear-ending accidents happen when there is a sudden change in the speed differential between 2 vehicles following each other. A situation that hardly ever happen when coasting out of gear.
