Yes, in my opinion.
I imagine that glamours are highly unstable and easy to disspell. I can't say that I take all of those tribe and levequests as absolute canon, but if you were, then you could argue that simply attacking something can quite easily cause the glamour to immediately fail - in addition to the fact that beastkin/voidsent are far more capable of manipulating it's properties unto themselves than any of the six races are.
There are way, wayyyy too many complications involved in having a long-term and stable glamour work upon a person that it makes little sense to me to argue that you can simply hide a tail or ears, and in addition to not feeling your own appendages during that time, anything else simply phases through them as though they didn't exist.
Could people not glamour themselves into rats? Flies? Any animal really? Why pretend to be a garlean agent at all during the day and settle for talking to random grunts when you can just sneak into the main HQ and spy on the commanders every evening?
Could people not have glamoured into Gaius, Livia or Nero and given false commands to disrupt military procedures and cripple the enemy through farce orders and tactics?
Could a refugee or anyone else not glamour themselves into a wealthy and influential individual, invade their home and make off with their fortune?
Could someone not just murder anyone and everyone they saw fit and quickly glamour themselves into a Brass Blade or Flame to immediately throw suspicion off of themselves when they are spotted walking in the opposite direction, seemingly oblivious?
What about wearing rags and glamouring it into heavy armour forged of the strongest element imaginable? Wouldn't that be cost effective and efficient?
I could go on but these are just any, random examples that popped into my head just now. In my opinion, glamours - if accepted at all - are not something that should be treated as though just anyone can do it at a whim; let alone efficiently.
