You can also make two lists. I don't think we should provide "pros ans
cons list", because it has implications outside export.

Sure.

`add-hook' is more for users, I think.

The line breaks do not matter much but it may fail if
(org-element-property :bullet next-item) returns nil.

True, but OTOH, the first option is not really possible. However, there
are still alternatives. For example, you could check blank lines between
items:
- key: a ::
- key: b ::
- key: c ::
- key: d ::
I suggest to require a special attribute before doing so, e.g.,
#+attr_texinfo: :compact t
- key: a ::
- key: b ::
- key: c ::
- key: d ::
Another option would be to merge consecutive lists with such an
attribute, for the same result:
#+attr_texinfo: :compact t
- key: a ::
- key: b ::
#+attr_texinfo: :compact t
- key: c ::
- key: d ::
- This is a regular list since it does not have :compact attribute.
IIRC, I did an experiment like this one when introducing matrices in
LaTeX export.
