You can now (latest git) define an environment like you do above

Then set

(setq org-export-latex-low-levels '("\\begin{myenv}" "\\end{myenv}" "\ 
\item %s"))

Now this environment will be used for the lower levels of LaTeX export.

Note that you can use

#+OPTIONS: H:0

to force even the top-level headings into this environment.
