A quick search turned up a feature request:
  https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74834
so the concerns are known and an option requested.

And a couple of possible workarounds...

Sets the history list size to 0, so no thumbnails, but nothing under 
File > Recent Documents either. If you're really concerned about 
security / privacy, that's probably what you want anyway since listing 
file names has the potential to reveal information.

Nars gives a hack to hide the thumbnails. I haven't tried it. As noted, 
it's editing one of the main installation files so will affect all 
users. You probably also need administrator/root access to edit that 
file, and may need to re-do that customisation after installing updates.

Hopefully there's something useful there.

Mark.
