Well, what you've described, i.e. refresh packages/procedures, is what replication is. I don't see anything wrong with wanting to propogate tables to other dbs. But perhaps another approach would be to use daily fast refreshes (perhaps even every hour or so) instead of complete refreshes. That way you're only refreshing what has actually changed without needing to initiate the data push from the master. If no data has changed on the master then the operation wouldn't take too long.
