Most of the time when I am using my admin bar, it's to manage the things I already have. Adding new things is something that only happens at the beginning of a project, and honestly I almost always get there from the listing page, not from the admin bar. (The only exception to this rule is the "Add content" link, which I use often)
I'd like to recommend that we move all the "Add new X" links to the bottom of the fly-out menu, instead of the top. This will also have the added benefit that as you are navigating to the "Add new X" button, you get a chance to browse all the existing Xs, and perhaps find the one you were about to create! (I'm not sure anyone else creates duplicate items often, but it happens to me more than I'd like to admit).
If you are in a hurry and don't want to do all the admin-bar scrolling, you can also click the top "List Xs" link, since that page will have the action link for "Add new X" on it :)

When there are thousands of links to be listed, it is better to split the map. Otherwise, hreflang is a good choice.
xmlsitemap module generates wrong links for languages
I don't fully understand why someone would need multiple sitemaps for different languages, but you certainly know better. Good luck!
xmlsitemap module generates wrong links for languages
Easy xml sitemap doesnt seem to offer multiple sitemaps for different languages, otherwise it seems a good solution for a single sitemap but then it doesnt make sense to exclude languages at all...
