You may not have realized that you posted a question with an underlying assumption that may be false. In other words, does wear and economy go together? From a wear perspective, more shifting means more wear. Hard to understand why anyone would post an answer that says otherwise. From an economy viewpoint, more gears is better. In addition, our transmission was not designed to run for extended periods of time with an unlocked converter. The pump does not have sufficient capacity to run the required cooling flow. Heat buildup shortens fluid life. There is no free lunch.
