yep, probably. Remember; this is just a crazy idea / thought experiment.

The idea is; if Force goes to infinity as Distance goes to zero; the gears will never touch... theoretically..? and no iron particles will be produced.

But that's from the gear teeth only.
The syncromeshes rely on friction to get the 'lose' gear shaft spinning at the same rpms so the gears don't grate.
This would require electromagnets that come on/off at the right times, or the use of a non ferrous metal (brass?) if you don't want to produce particles there.
