Some cars don't this constant shifting. Do you think the Crossfire can be operated in that manner like my Avalon?
What I think doesn't matter. If you operate it against the owners manual (coasting in neutral) and it breaks down (which may or may not be because of this 'extra' differential operation), then you'll have to fix it or sell it. To put it another way, its your car, whatever floats your boat.
