I agree that having some static workspaces is a good thing;
I have a preferred way of working where I keep mail in one,
web in another and I like it that way - so yes, I like your idea.

However, the one thing is that I prefer Unity's and Gnome2's
(and KDE and everything else....) ability to run with a 2d layout
of workspaces to the Gnome3 limit of 1d; I get used to the spatial
layout.
