There are obvious times when it should be done, for instance, when you have more than one main character. Asking, should it ever be done at all (current question title) is more subjective than answerable since published authors do it effectively on a regular basis.

Taking a shot at summarizing your last paragraph into one question, "How can I lock character perspective without sacrificing plot development?" Is that what you want to discuss? That's difficult to answer in the stackexchange format, but it's a thought provoking question.
