update-refs works only in a narrow case when every branch starts form the tip of a previous. Your helper might still be useful if it properly "replants" whole tree keeping its structure.
No, as far as I can tell, it's basically just doing update-refs. But in my defense, I just found out by looking for the option that for some reason my git manpages are from an old version before it was introduced

Though at that point it may be easier to rewrite your helper to manage rebase's interactive scripts.
