For me, I think it's a valid use of an unordered list, and pretty much
every form I've created uses <ul> and places the label + input pairs inside
an <li> tag. It is, after all, a collection of related items - in this
case, form fields.
If the screen reader announces that it's a list and tells the user how many
elements are in the list - ie how many form fields, that seems to me to be
useful information. If my form consists of 5 elements the user may have a
different expectation as to how long the form is going to take compared to
if there were 15 or more elements.
When using this construct I always ensure that any hidden fields are kept
outside the <ul>.
