The computer monitors if and when the motor is run up to operating temp and runs
EMM on a very conservative schedule
How often and under what circumstances does the Volt force gas burning in EMM or FMM? [Archive] - GM-Volt: Chevy Volt Forum

If anything the engineers baby all systems, GM wanted the car to last 500000 miles and it shows

So just enjoy the car and drive worry free any issues are handled automatically

Engineers thinking of everything ? Yea , sure , I am buying that hook , line & sinker . :-(

Otherwise , you are probably correct in much / most of what you said ?

On the other hand , running the ICE once every week / month is not going to hurt anything and may contribute to peace of mind . And , as I said , would not cost much .

God bless
