When I use simple lists, I would like to be able to mix in '!' and '?'
with '-' as these are sometimes more expressive of what the list item
represents.
My request is that the list of characters org-list recognizes as being a
valid "bullet" be customizable by the user.

The syntax is not meant to be customizable. It goes against having
a standard Org format.
You can however, put overlays on top of bullets and /display/ them as
you wish. The extension "org-bullets" does something similar.

Have a look at https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/35626/how-to-make-my-own-org-mode-text-emphasis-work-again.

Which code are you recommending?

I'm not recommending anything. I'm suggesting that if you want
one or more characters in a list to act as emphasis then perhaps they
could be defined in terms of org-font-lock-extra-keywords, as in 'Answer
2'.
Best wishes,

I don't think the suggestions made in that thread are going to help in
terms of org-mode recognizing a line as being a list item.
What I tried that I did think might work was to customize
org-list-full-item-re:
org-list-full-item-re is a variable defined in ‘org-list.el’.
Its value is
"^[ ]*\\(\\*(?:[-+*]\\|\\(?:[0-9]+\\|[A-Za-z]\\)[.)]\\)*\\(?:[
]+\\|$\\)\\)\\(?:\\[@\\(?:start:\\)?\\([0-9]+\\|[A-Za-z]\\)\\][
]*\\)?\\(?:\\(\\[[ X-]\\]\\)\\(?:[ ]+\\|$\\)\\)?\\(?:\\(.*\\)[
]+::\\(?:[ ]+\\|$\\)\\)?"
This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable.
Documentation:
Matches a list item and puts everything into groups:
*group 1: bullet*
group 2: counter
group 3: checkbox
group 4: description tag
to add '!' and '?' to '-+' in the group 1 expression, but that didn't do
it. ( *[-+*] => [-+!?*]* )
