Yep, double-clutching is only necessary for reducing wear and tear on your synchros or, in dog box transmissions, necessary in order to get the car into gear (since it completely lacks synchros)
Rev-matching while your foot is on the pedal is ok as long as you aren't dropping down too many gears and forcing the synchros to work overtime (2000RPM -> 6000RPM or something like that). It does save wear and tear on the clutch and your engine if you rev-match correctly though. You'll also be a smoother driver without having to ride the clutch a bit on downshifts.
