We tested that with our maui-xenial-backports-neon repo which has 5.8.1 aswell and could not 100% reproduce the issue. So the desktop still loaded though the activities were listed as inactive in the activity switcher. (Though the new activity was created using 5.8.1 and not having one on 5.8.0 and updating to 5.8.1)
This patch fixes this: https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kactivityman...1aa1290ba9
It will most probably land with Plasma 5.8.2 and I advised Neon to include that patch in their packaging asap as it should fix the the issue reported here:
