Its definitely one option, but its always said in the manuals that, if
possible, one should rather modify the sources than using advices, and
since Org-mode is not abandon-ware at all, I thought I ask first how
chances are for such modifications.

Since outshine should bring the look&feel of Org-mode to programming
language buffers, using other language elements (like e.g. functions) as
outline items is not only a technical problem, but a conceptual problem
too. In Org-mode, functions are stored in src-blocks, they are not
headlines. Thus they should be treated in outshine rather like plain
lists or drawers or other elements that change visibility but are no
headline.
