Sure it does!  I'm ashamed I didn't think about this myself.  Here's my
take (I assume that ITEM is a plain-list item):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun org-item-get-level (item)
  "Get the level of ITEM, which should be an item in a plain
list.  Levels are indexed from 0."
  (let ((pparent (org-element-property :parent (org-element-property :parent item))))
    (if (eq (org-element-type pparent)
	    'item)
	(1+ (org-item-get-level pparent))
      0)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It is a bit less general (and probably a bit faster), but for
a plain-list item transcoder the generality doesn't matter.
