Depending on the version of Oracle you could regularly Rebuild the Indexes.
This is more efficient and easily achieved.
You assumption about CBO is not exactly true. You will need to respond to the tendancy of the optimiser to perform more sequencial scans. Each operation in isolation may perform quicker, but at the cost of nicely stored data cached in the data buffers of the SGA. I would guess that the rule of thumb is that CBO likes far more memory available to work well than RBO ever did.
