Some time ago we also considered to use activities for this use-case, 
but stopped doing so, when we realized that activities do not allow us
to prevent the user to change a perspective into one, for which she
has no rights. The problem is, that under activity-constrained
perspectives, the dialog that appears after

Open Perspective>Other...

has been choosen, will present a checkbox that allows the user to
see (and choose) all currently hidden (disabled) perspectives,
AFAIK the same applies to the Show View action under constrained
conditions.

Have you found a workaround for this problem without the need to 
reimplement both actions?
