For the same purpose I added an advice to functions like
'read-directory-name' and 'vc-dir' with the trick to
call 'project-current' that remembers a new project:

(define-advice vc-dir (:after (dir &optional _backend) add-project)
  (when (featurep 'project)
    ;; Add current vc project dir to project list
    (let ((default-directory dir))
      (project-current))))

But maybe `project-remember-project' would be more correct to use here.
