While default styling is a bit of an issue, I'm not sure how using
<h1> would interfere with the outline algorithm.  <figure> is
explicitly a sectioning root, and <details> could presumably be made
one as well.

As well, default styling isn't a huge issue.  I think it's pretty
common to restyle your <hx>s anyway, and a simple "details > h1" rule
would catch most of it (obviously "details > h1:first-of-type" would
be best, but that's more complex, and more detail than will commonly
be needed I believe).  Similarly "figure > h1" would allow easy
restyling.
