As long as you are above idle in RPM and your engine isn’t lugging, you aren’t doing any damage. See this link for more information about lugging. You mentioned that you might do this to be quieter and for fuel efficiency.
When does the engine stop rpm dropping below idle speed?
Unless you try something unrealistic (like trying to drive up a 20% gradient in 5th gear at 30 mph) the engine management system stops RPM dropping below idle speed in any case, by increasing the fuel supply.
What causes low oil pressure at low RPMs?
RPM is not the only variable when it comes to ‘low’ oil pressure. Engine load is also very key in determining if it’s ‘too low’. An idling engine requires very little pressure to keep oil between the bearings and journals because there is very little load on it.
How can you tell if your engine is too low?
Engine load is also very key in determining if it’s ‘too low’. An idling engine requires very little pressure to keep oil between the bearings and journals because there is very little load on it. The pressure required to maintain the hydrostatic surface exponentially increases with engine load.

How to troubleshoot a hesitating or bucking car?
Step 1: Physically inspect the fuel filter. If the fuel filter is dirty like the image on the right, it’s probably causing a restriction of fuel flow to the engine and should be replaced. Step 2: Check for leaks coming from fuel filter connections. The fuel line is spliced between two fuel lines.
