ActivityPub "evolved" out of ActivityStreams, which were an extension of plain Atom feeds. Basically it was an Atom feed with some extra fields.
The way we got it to work efficiently was by not using polling, but rather by using a push protocol called PubSubHubbub/WebSub that was championed by Google.
PubSubHubbub/WebSub is compatible with RSS, so it's entirely possible to do what GP is proposing.
