What you describe should be a part of regular database maintenance. In my opinion, controlling the size of MSDB should be about purging data on a regular basis. Have a look at procedures like sp_purge_jobhistory or procedures which starts with ‘sp_delete_%’. In case of logshipping there are some routines to keep the size of these in control.

In case of maintaining databases: there are a lot of scripts to do this. I recommend the solution from http://ola.hallengren.com/

In other words, doing an update-statistics right after an index-rebuild is pointless or even detrimental on large tables since the update-statistics takes a less accurate approach (=record-samples instead of looking at each indexed record) in favor of performance
