Jasmine rice might not thicken up the way short grain rice would, but it will still be thick and delicious. I've used it to make Chinese rice porridge soup and it was really tasty.
And...you're right about the art conservators. I was an art museum registrar for a bit and works on paper are matted with wheat or rice starch paste. No kidding. It's non-chemical so it won't off-gas or otherwise harm the art, and it's easily removable. Only downside is bugs love it.
Perhaps I shouldn't have told you this until after you tried the porridge...
