But will the trans last as long as it would?

If you ALWAYS shifted without?

I switch gears on a daily basis without the clutch, but only 2-3 3-4 4-5.. I was lucky enough to practice this alot with my crx I had for 10 years with a 91 integra trans that has been autocrossed and 10 psi of boost for a year. Probably got about 80k miles of abuse in my hands.. sold it to a guy for 50 dollars about 3 years ago. Trans is still going and he has a boosted civic also now.

I have gotten to the point now where I can downshift without using a clutch. Been practicing heel-toe using 1 foot only, still a bit sloppy right now. Trying to learn actual speed and engine speed when coming to a stop.

you will not mess up your transmission if you dont grind the gears.

I sold my previous car for $50 as well. The Blue Book value had depreciated to zero and additionally, the steering rack had probably a few hundred safe miles remaining. I was also able to rip out the aftermarket stereo I had installed.
