The forces involved are minimal at idle. Idling engines have been known to run amazing lengths of time without damage with no oil in the sump. Therefore I doubt if there's an engine wear problem at any idle speed.

Now if you're talking about lugging it in gear at sub-1,000 rpm engine speeds, I'd agree that it's not a good idea.
