The answer

It is prescribed to frequently send blessings upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and this is particularly emphasized on Friday. The statement that sending blessings upon him thousands of times is a Sufi innovation is incorrect. What is reprehensible is restricting oneself to a specific number, believing it to have a particular virtue that is not supported by Islamic law. As for counting tasbeeh with a manual digital counter, its ruling is the same as that of prayer beads (subhah), and it is permissible.
