Try it and see if there is any harsh engagement. I go from neutral into gear at 50-55 mph quite often (10 times a day) and if I don't rev match its a little harsh but no different than a 3/4 throttle upshift. The Neons auto is an understressed 3 spd with a good reputation in turbo drag racing applications though.
If I was driving a 90's Dodge minivan I wouldn't play around with coasting in neutral so much although at 25 mph I doubt that would hurt any transmission unless it tries to go to 1st gear or something silly.

p.s. I just checked out your garage, your car might have an early relative of the Neon tranny, plus if you are able to do tranny swap then I would neutral coast all day with that auto until you swap it out
