Indeed, it's always nil if vc-handled-backends is also nil. I think the
situation now makes more sense to me now; I thought the only problem is
that the projects are not saved but the reason why I have to reenter the
project every  time is deeper and related to project-root, I guess.

I will explore the various proposed ways to get the equivalent setup
without wholesale disabling vc. Thanks to everyone who chimed in!
