How to remove space at the start of inline enumitem itemized list?

Question

Here I show the out-of-the-box behaviour of an inline itemized list, and then a workaround that achieves the look I'm after. The desired look is achieved, here, by manually adding a negative space to left-align the first line of the lede. Can the alignment be made to work as desired using built in enumitem options?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[inline]{enumitem}

\begin{document}

\section{Introduction}
\begin{itemize*}[label=,leftmargin=*,]
\item In this Introduction we have recalled the \textbf{necessary
  background} on sonic screwdrivers, and presented \textbf{supporting
  material} to frame our research.
\end{itemize*}

\section{Re-introduction}

\begin{itemize*}[label=,leftmargin=*,]
\item \hspace{-.5em}In this Introduction we have recalled the
  \textbf{necessary background} on sonic screwdrivers, and presented
  \textbf{supporting material} to frame our research.
\end{itemize*}
\end{document}

Answer 1

For inline lists there are a few extra options. For example afterlabel by default inserts a non-breaking space (a same as ~) after the list label. Since there are no label here, the non breaking space is clearly visible.

Using

afterlabel=,

sets this value to be empty, and the space goes away.
