Why not write a custom action? Creating a custom table and a custom action to replace LaunchConditions isn't that difficult or fragile. After all, you won't be doing any configuration changes or reading system data so there's no need to worry about permissions, context, rollback, commit ectera. It's pretty much a walk in the park; particularly if you can use an SDK like DTF to write it.
Here's a link to an article I wrote a few years ago on this subject. http://blog.deploymentengineering.com/2006/07/short-comings-of-launchconditions.html Christopher Painter, Author of Deployment Engineering Blog Have a hot tip, know a secret or read a really good thread that deserves attention?
