Basically I want to be able to clean the balls and make them like new without wearing down the coating. My understanding is that the aramith cleaning liquid has abrasives, as does the magic eraser. Can I just do a damp microfiber cloth?
I put mine in the dishwasher before. That seemed to work out pretty good
I hope you were kidding. My dishwasher has been known to melt things.I put mine in the dishwasher before. That seemed to work out pretty good

Pool balls get scuffs, especially the cue ball. The surface is abraded such that a simple cleaning has no chance to restore it. You have to rearrange the material on the surface or remove some of it to restore a smooth surface.
If you're concerned about minimizing wear, start with mild soap and water and a microfiber cloth followed by a rinse and microfiber drying. When the balls have lost too much of their shine, use a little Aramith ball polish by hand and then do the rinse and dry.

Magic Eraser is abrasive, on the scale of 1500-2000 grit. You should never use ME to clean billiard balls. I don't know where you got the falsehood that Aramith Ball Cleaner is as abrasive as ME, but if you continue to, you're just denying yourself the option of a great product.
Aramith Ball Cleaner is the recommended solution from the manufacturer, so they may know a thing or two about their product. I used to just use dab, sparingly, and was generous with elbow grease with a damp towel.
Check out Dr. Dave's video on ball cleaning solutions. It was an eye opener, as the wax based ones will throw the ball, whereas Aramith does not.
