In fact, there is no maintenance tools anymore, you only have download
extension from the actions, not much more.

Do it with a FTP client or using SSH. I agree this could find its way to
the EM because I consider it "part of the EM domain", as an action icon
when an extension is deactivated.

This is typically considered a developer task and not something an
integrator should do (he is not supposed to modify an extension) and as
such you should rely on external (developer) tools such as
https://github.com/etobi/Typo3ExtensionUtils (md5 update is not yet
available though). It is done automatically for you when you upload your
extension to TER under 4.x and I'm sure you find this task in some
developer extension, for instance I would expect it to be part of
extdeveval (but did not check if it is implemented).

Cheers
Xavier
