I think I've found solution for this problem, at least for the missing
"Qt Project file (.pro)" support.

I noticed, that if I wipe out old settings directory in my $HOME:

$ rm -r $HOME/.config/QtProject

and re-launch Qt Creator, then I get all the Build Systems plugins
listed in About -> Plugins properly enabled.

I still don't get the QBS plugin built when I build Qt Creator, so it
is not listed
in the About -> Plugins, but at least I can work with the .pro files.

I noticed, there is a condiiton in the qt-creator/src/plugins/plugins.pro file:

isEmpty(QBS_INSTALL_DIR): QBS_INSTALL_DIR = $$(QBS_INSTALL_DIR)
exists(../shared/qbs/qbs.pro)|!isEmpty(QBS_INSTALL_DIR): \
    SUBDIRS += \
        qbsprojectmanager

and indeed, I don't have ../shared/qbs/qbs.pro file (the folder is empty)

Do I need to perform any special steps to enable QBS?
