outline-mode is not a programming-language mode, so sexp-related
commands make no sense for it. It is more related to text-mode.
Outline mode and its derivatives already have motion commands that
move in terms of headings and trees/subtrees. I see no reason to
confuse users with some kind of artificial notion of "sexps" applied
to text.
So I think your feature request is a step in the wrong direction.
