You are all overthinking this and stressing over nothing. It's a multi plate wet clutch designed to handle the very meager energy transmitted while standing still. Just drive it like any other torque converter transmission car. Clutch Energy = Heat = Wear = Life Expectancy. Move on to something else if you need something to worry about. A bigger concern would be being rear ended because you shifted to neutral at a stop and forgot to reengaged Drive before trying to take away from the stop.
And, a concern is that in your haste to move off after being harassed by the cars behind you, or any of a thousand other reasons, you drop it into D before waiting for the revs to come all-the-way-back-down. Imagine what doing that a few times will do to your PDK. "Trying to protect the PDK I kept slamming it into gear with the revs up."

My advice, don't put it into neutral at a stop.

I guess driving is a thinking man's job. Presence of mind is all that is neccessary. Again, each his/her own. I think no one is correct and each has its adv/disadv.
