Who has time to lip buzz or mouthpiece buzz without a trpt. for 5 hrs a day?
If you can lip buzz note, scales etc. USING THE SAME EMBOUCHURE as when you play it will help you learn how to play with less pressure. Since you are not pressing anything down on your lips in the process there shouldnt be any problem. If you are doing this also to avoid disturbing someone it would be better to get a good practice mute and use your trumpet for more of your time.
