I've felt fine in vehicles where shifting back to D was smooth, like the Camry. I wouldn't do it in my Dodge pickup though because it clunks back into D.

Even some EVs there seems to be some risk to using N. The Bolt for instance has a pump that circulates a lubricant in the gears of the motor that doesn't run when shifting to N.
