Does anybody know whether that ~/.recently-used is actually usefuly,
and we should continue writing it?

That file is the old freedesktop "Recent File Storage Specification"
recently used file 
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/recent-file-spec/recent-file-spec-0.2.html

It was superseded by the "Desktop Bookmark Spec" replacement
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-bookmark-spec/
which has appendix D stating that all recent Gnome versions use that
spec

The user of the file is intended to be the surrounding desktop
environment. There doesn't seem to be any remaining consumers for it,
so I would be happy to see it go.
