I am no expert on CVT's, but I would think you should be alright. I'm sure the engineers at Honda thought of the possibility that someone might coast. The one thing that may be problematic is if you coast with the engine off since the transmission's oil pump is driven by the engine, so the transmission will not be lubricated or cooled if the engine isn't running. I imagine that's why the manual warns against improper towing since people typically tow with the engine off.
As for rev matching when going back into gear, I think you would be best off letting the PCM take care of that for you. If the PCM sees fit, it can increase RPM automatically via the electronic throttle to ensure smooth engagement. I imagine it goes back into gear smoothly while rolling?
