Older diesel engines were noted for “slobbering” if run at low RPM under light loads for extended periods of time. The “slobber” comes from unburned fuel going out the exhaust and it makes a mess on the exhaust manifold. I never noticed any other bad effects from low RPM work if there was a load on the engine so that the fuel was burned completely. I have run diesels down to 1500 RMP continuously under medium loads and have not noticed any problems. The most important thing is remember that you don’t have many RPM’s before you start lugging the engine which is not good for any engine.
