Might be - but seems it fits very naturally to be able to at least
allow to move list items outside its parent.

Don't get me wrong - I like it defaults to stopping, but would prefer
it would ask or let me do shift + left + left to override or something
similar.

IMO, the current behaviour is the right one.

However, you can advice, e.g., `org-shiftmetaleft' so it catches the
error and calls `org-ctrl-c-star' instead.

Any pointers on how to do this ?

I tried this but no luck to get hooked in:

(defadvice org-fix-list-indent
    (around org-list-indent-item-generic)
  "Advise list indention to trigger creation of star instead"
  (message "DO MAGIC!")
  (ad-do-it)
)

But with this "DO MAGIC!" does not show up.
