Here's what would feel the most intuitive to me:

• while in a list (i.e. one of the list buttons is active), Tab indents and Shift+Tab outdents the current item
  • when the first item is maximally outdented and there's no content before the list, Shift+Tab brings you to the previous field
• Enter on an empty list item moves the cursor outside the list and deletes that empty item
  • To tab out of a field, you'd hit Enter twice to get out the list and then hit Tab to switch fields.

Everyone knows this behaviour from Word etc., and it still allows for keyboard-only editing.

Not sure about Tab. If at some point we allow indenting paragraphs (normal text), we'd have problems with Tab.
Another option would be to Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+].

Yeah, I'm not sure overriding tab there is the best idea. Users are used to using Tab to switch between fields, and making it behave differently depending on where the cursor is would probably cause frustration.

Bear notes use:

⌘L - Unordered list
⇧⌘L - Ordered list

Might be an option.

That'll conflict with the card layout button

Is it possible to make the keyboard shortcuts configurable by the user?
If people are using Anki to study a foreign language, the more shortcuts you add, the more likely they will interfere with an existing key binding.
(For example, I just upgraded to Version ⁨2.1.49 (dc80804)⁩, and now I'm no longer able to type certain characters in French because of a conflicting shortcut.)
I'm not familiar with the codebase, so I'm not sure how difficult it would be to allow configuration of the shortcuts.

It's not trivial, but may come at one point. In the mean time the conflict will be addressed on Anki's end: https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/option-i-shortcut-conflicts-with-language-input/15206
