What do you see as the role of DocBook in the texinfo project?
Is it just another output format you'd like to support, or do
you see it as "strategic"?

I think it may make sense to position DocBook as I use it: For those
who want finer-grained control or processing.  You use the default
texi2any to generate pdf or html [*] and get readable but plain output;
if you want fancier or customized output, go via DocBook.

[*] I won't speak of the info file format, which is a lost cause.
