Great blog!
Some nits:

This approach is preferable to throwing an exception from the Charge activity, which would cause the activity to fail and be retried, which may not be the desired behavior.

This is not 100% correct. It is possible to throw non retryable failure and attach (if needed) additional details data.

throw ApplicationFailure.newNonRetryableFailure(<message>, <failureType>, detailsStructure);

Another approach is to specify an exception type in the RetryOptions.DoNotRetry and it will not be retried.
