Now that I better understand its intent, I'm using All actions as my secondary navigation tool - keyboard shortcuts being the primary.

Q. Are the outer branch range names fixed or are they determined by how many.

When I had 10 plugins installed I had a branch node "BR Menu - View Manager" with 10 leaf nodes, when I removed a plugin the branch node disappeared and I have 9 leaf nodes in the outer menu. I'd rather have a branch node, even if it only has one leaf**.

Incidentally I had to restart calibre to have the removed plugin disappear from the All actions Plugins menu. Aside: removing a plugin should offer a restart, like a adding a plugin does… IMO.

Anyway, some suggestions

Use '→' rather than '-' in the outer branch names e.g. Add books→Choose library

I have to remind myself that they not connected actions - i.e. 'Add books - Choose library' does not mean choose the library to which books will be added.
Include all the Preference panels as per the lower section of the Preferences drop down menu:
Add another section - Libraries.
