I've just checked the ePub file on my Kobo and the bullets are way off to the left in the margin, and numbers in numbered lists don't appear at all!

I think the best option is just for me to use straight text and forget about nicely indented lists.
You might be able to use a hanging indent to simulate a bullet point. There's also a bullet character (option-8 on a Mac, dunno what the alt code is for a PC) that should be supported. Paste the bullets into a text editor and then see if the various readers support that?
