A general can_view permission not respected by the admin is not a good idea.
However an easy way to add a general permission to every model in the system in one go would be interesting - a hook into https://github.com/django/django/blob/7da3923ba0c569aa23d0ab0a47a124af60a18f5b/django/contrib/auth/management/__init__.py somehow which allows a couple of lines to add you automatic "can_view", but could also be useful for a general "can_escalate_to_legal", "can_unarchive" or whatever domain specific logic is relevant to most models in a system without having to explicitly add it for every model.
