"// Project settings are saved in the corresponding <board name>.pro file"

This is a good tool to save in .pro if I used it in 3d-viewer and add the existent options to .pro will that be consider a change format in .pro files?
Or I am freely to change, add, remove that configuration options?

For example, on 3d-viewer, I saw some user requests for the mask color should be saved per project.

Something like you are talking about is existing, for project config.
For instance, have a look at
PARAM_CFG_ARRAY& SCH_EDIT_FRAME::GetProjectFileParametersList()
and bool SCH_EDIT_FRAME::LoadProjectFile()

in eeschema_config.cpp
