recentf-exclude supports a list of regexps and predicates:

  (defcustom recentf-exclude nil
    "List of regexps and predicates for filenames excluded from the recent list.
    ..."
    :type '(repeat (choice regexp function)))

Would it be possible also to check a predicate on the project list?

I need this to be able to remove the advice from my config:

  ;; Don't remember transient projects:
  (define-advice project-remember-project (:before-until (pr &rest _) skip)
    (eq (car pr) 'transient))
