I cannot find a mapping to assign a key combination to Projects->Open
Recent Project.
Is it is fact missing? If so, is there a compelling reason for this?

Because it is not a command. It is just a submenu. It cannot be placed
at toolbar and key combination cannot be assigned.
But if it is necessary, "Open Recent Project" may be implemented as
command like "Goto Bookmark" (Ctrl+B) with standalone menu or
separarte form.
The same sutuation with submenu File/OpenRecent.

But there is no reason, in principle, why a (new) IDECommand could not
be assigned to the opening of a submenu, or is there?

Beyond the inherent difficulty of opening a submenu by code in a
cross-platform way? No, not really. Although it would, maybe, be
easier if the IDECommand opened a "Recent projects" window instead.

No problem. I will try to implement it.
