Makes sense.

On the other hand, eventually the IDE might get menu items like other
IDEs for multiple run parameters (run as, run history), extra menu items
for debugging stuff, etc. Then the run menu might get quite big.

How does Delphi run a group of projects?

Yes. 
The educationlaz package has already an option frame to hide menu
items. But its target audience are teachers, not programmers, so the
front end will be kept simple / not very detailed.
