Safer is maybe not the most appropriate word.
This simply prevents mistakes by having to write the correct type twice.

Using char* instead of void* is also semantically incorrect:
-	void **new_list = realloc(list->list, newsz * sizeof(char *));
+	void **new_list = realloc(list->list, newsz * sizeof(*new_list));
