I did some looking into on this after having some issues with a project we are working on.

I have been playing around with this for a bit and think i may have found a way to do this, i just wanted to get some peoples opinion on this before implementing this.

-Create Duplicate Views as Dependent (this will keep up with callouts and changes to the model)

Any downsides to this?

IF you are duplicating as a dependent elevations, or sections, or Details (Not drafting Views which cannot be duplicated this way) it will create an additional elevation/section/detail mark on the plans. You'll need to remember this, and find them, and then hide them, or they could bite you later on. What you are describing, is what we are using.

Ahhh, now i have run into an issue. What to do when you scale the new viewport. I knew there was something missing.

If you need to scale it differently than the original, then you'd need to duplicate w/ Detailing. The annotation may have to be duplicated in the original, and the duplicated view, but that could be copy/pasted from view to view as well. No system is perfect, you'll have to pick your own poisen.

Yeah, no I am really starting to see why this is such an issue now. I'll keep at this for a bit and see what i can come up with.
