Have you try where.

{{ range where site.RegularPages "Section" "maintenance" }}
{{ end }}

I didn’t test, there maybe typo.

I solved my problem as follows.
I created a partial:

layouts/partials/last-updated-docs-list.html

with the following code:

{{ $all_pages := where .myStuff.Site.RegularPages "Section" .mySection }}
{{ $some_pages := where $all_pages "Params.excludefromstartpage" "ne" true }}

<ul class="list-unstyled">
    {{ range first .myCount (sort $some_pages ".Lastmod" "desc") }}
        <li><a class="no-underline" href="{{.Permalink}}">{{.Title}}</a></li>
    {{ end }}   
</ul>

This partial is called from the Startpage like so:

        <h2 class="h4">Latest Updates</h2>
        <b>Info</b>
        {{ partial "last-updated-docs-list.html" (dict "myStuff" . "mySection" "info" "myCount" 2) }}
        <b>Publikationen</b>
        {{ partial "last-updated-docs-list.html" (dict "myStuff" . "mySection" "publications" "myCount" 2) }}
        <b>Projekte</b>
        {{ partial "last-updated-docs-list.html" (dict "myStuff" . "mySection" "projects" "myCount" 2) }}
        <b>Portfolio</b>
        {{ partial "last-updated-docs-list.html" (dict "myStuff" . "mySection" "portfolio" "myCount" 2) }}

I can exclude individual documents from the list by inserting excludefromstartpage in the frontmatter of the document:

---
title: "Shall not show this"
excludefromstartpage: true
---
