It may not be a good answer but it's the only one I've got. I've been doing it for years and never had any problems:)

As i understand it there are no problem with Teflon grease. Its lithium grease you need to avoid near seals as it attacks them.
I use RSP Ultra slick grease on wiper seals.

TF Tuned recommend using Finish Line dry lube with Teflon to lube the wiper seals after riding. Clean outside of seals and stanchions first. Lube then cycle fork 20 times, clean excess off.
