Why not? I always have, and have not noticed any adverse effects.
From a start, yes, but for hill climbing you just need to downshift and keep the revs up. Even with a (nearly) new battery, I'd run out of assist long before I get to the top of any real hill. IIRC, it was good for maybe 1500 vertical feet at highway speed and about 6% grade.

I like the completeness of the 12V reset to clear all codes.
He's trying to recover from a P1449. Best to let the battery charge steady for as long as it can. In fact, I prefer to do 2-3 12V reset/charge cycles until the final charge cycle takes almost no time.
Concerning the MT power, I'm just parroting what everybody at IC says. Both of mine are CVT. One batt is nearly new and flawless, the other is ailing badly. Power is noticeably down, but pretty easy to deal with.
