I think that to a certain extent if White doesn't want Black to have any fun in the opening, it's possible for him to give up that first move advantage to sterilize the position resulting from almost any opening. But the Rubinstein in general can lead to relatively equal but tough to win positions in a lot of lines, as Black's goal is pretty much to resolve all the central tension straight away by exchanging his d-pawn for an e-pawn and his c-pawn for White's d-pawn.

I will say, however, that there are certain ways you can try and make the asymmetrical majority work for you. The e-pawn can really have a dramatic effect on your opponent's king and piece mobility in simplified positions if you can get that majority going. For example:

Those are not Rubinsteins and some are colors reversed, but you get the idea.
