Using write-region also makes it susceptible to losing data (if
custom-file is already being visited, in a narrowed buffer).
I think a better solution would be to prevent custom-file from being
added to recentf-list by the 2 functions in cus-edit.el that visit it,
custom-save-delete and custom-save-all:
