VMS IDE is not an obvious choice to add a line to SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.

You’d think by this time VMS would have acquired a more modular service
definition architecture, à la systemd.
It does, sort of. It's more modular anyway. Virtually nobody uses it. The SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM method is what most people got started with in pre VAX/VMS 5.0 and few have moved on. Check these out for info:
OpenVMS STARTUP - Underappreciated Flexibility - http://www.rlgsc.com/ publications/openvmsstartupunderappreciatedflexibility.html
The PDF - http://www.rlgsc.com/publications/ openvmsstartupunderappreciatedflexibility.pdf
Adding a file to Startup - http://www.rlgsc.com/blog/openvms-consultant/ adding-file-to-startup.html
SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM works fine.
People have 20-30-40 lines in it. After initial installation they add
maybe a few lines per year and in rare cases remove a line.
One does not need a huge advanced system to do that.
