Although the Recognized Variants list hasn't been updated in a long time, I'm not sure that it couldn't be updated. I agree with you that there is value in both this list and in the "Favorites." I've actually been thinking about what is the best way to update this. There are certainly at least a few games that should be added and possibly one or two that should be removed in my opinion.
All of the games you have nominated for addition seem reasonable to me. I would also add Chu Shogi, as it has been played for, literally, hundreds of years, and is still played today.
