After running the rebuildall script am I able to

I ask as it would seem that rebuildall effectively does what clearing the
job queue would otherwise do.
Not *all* jobs are those pertaining to link updates; under some
configurations, the job queue is also used for email notifications,
user renaming (with the RenameUser extension), etc. - plus extensions
can add custom jobs.
In short, it's not safe to assume that maintenance/rebuildAll.php will
have performed operations equivalent to all those queued in the job
table in all cases.
You can run maintenance/runJobs.php to process the entire job queue.
