I never really thought about it, but my 914 and the 911 both have gas pedals that are hinged at the bottom. I think I heel and toe with the heel of my foot on the gas pedal and the ball of my foot on the brakes. Pressing on the bottom of the pedal takes more pressure, but I truly don't even think about it, my foot knows what to do. Much like using a mouse, my hand seems to know when to left click or right click or whatever is needed. It is not a conscious thought.

I don't think I have ever driven a car with a clutch that has pedals that hang down from above like most cars when trying to heel and toe. I have driven a Miata, and a Mini Cooper that were manuals, but I was not heel and toeing and rev matching. The pickup truck I used recently is a manual, but for sure no heel and toe.
