IMO, only bring out the hammer if you're having a problem.
And when you run emerge --update, does that sometimes find nothing to upgrade? No reason why it *should* find something.
There's a couple of commands like that that sometimes find nothing to do - emerge --depclean is another.
But if you set off all these "do something if there's something needing doing" jobs, you'll always have a clean, up-to-date system.
And yes it would be nice if there was a page somewhere in the handbook or similar that said "this is how to keep your system up-to-date, just run these commands every week or so".
