I didn't know about callouts, they seem like a nice and useful feature:
https://docs.asciidoctor.org/asciidoc/latest/verbatim/callouts/

Could you post the DocBook code generated by asciidoctor? I suspect that
this feature would require changes to the docbook reader, but maybe once
could make do with a custom Lua reader.
