The function to advice is `org-shiftmetaleft', not
`org-fix-list-indent'.

Anyway, you can also add something like the following to
`org-shiftmetaleft-hook':

  (defun my-shiftmetaleft ()
    (interactive)
    (let* ((element (org-element-at-point))
           (list-parent (org-element-lineage element '(item plain-list) t)))
      (when (and list-parent
                 (= (line-beginning-position)
                    (org-element-property :post-affiliated element)))
        (call-interactively
         (if (org-element-lineage list-parent '(item)) ;not at top level
             #'org-outdent-item-tree
           #'org-ctrl-c-star))
        t)))
