Hi Patrick, You are correct, this data is stored in the project file. If the project hasn't been saved prior to the crash, this configuration is lost.
There is definitely a good reason to report an issue, because the app crashed. Please provide as much information as possible that can help as a lead why this happened (a backtrace of the crash being the most useful one; and an exact description of at what point and after what actions it happened being inevitable). To avoid loss of work, there is an autosaver plugin (https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/autoSaver/) that regularly saves the project configuration. I'm not sure it's updated to QGIS 3 yet.
