Yup, you are correct, it is not necessary since the coolant continues to circulate if necessary. But just for my own piece of mind, i would as you mentioned drive the car like a grandmom the last mile to my house, or (what i should have mentioned) if i drive my car hard before shutting her down, let it idle for a bit, 30sec or so.
One reason i do the following is, usually you want the oil to circulate to get that extra cooling, which is not done when the car is shut off. I guess just a EXTRA safe caution since i have a tuned car.Then again i rarely drive my car right before i shut it down.
