I would agree hard coded todo keywords is an issue given we allow
people to define the set of todo keywords. I think your suggestion to
use the car of 'org-not-done-keywords and 'org-done-keywords is an
improvement (even if not perfect).

I do wonder if the doc string for org-toggle-heading needs updating. It
makes no reference to making a list item a todo heading if it looks like
a todo item. I was actually surprised that org-toggle-heading adds
keywords at all. While headings and todo items are certainly related, my
expectation would be that a function called org-toggle-heding would do
just that - add stars if none exist and remove them if they do. I would
not necessarily expect a list item to be converted to a todo heading,
only a heading.
