I owned and operated a triaxle for two years. I read both engine and truck owners manuals closely, and did as they said which included using the jake! I always geared down for hills and for congested areas. In the lower gear the engine is turning faster so the jake is far more effective so it enhances your ability to compensate for another driver's lack of attention. I suppose one could feather the brakes going down hill to keep them from heating up but I don't think that those feathers will cushion you much when you run off the road because it gets steeper and then a sharp curve. I would rather be using the tools at my disposal to maintain control all the way after starting down much slower than I probably need to.
