Yes. asciidoc-py3 still calls dblatex which depends on python 2.

Note that asciidoc-py3 is a port just to make current projects work, not a continuing project; asciidoc upstream recommends switching to an active alternative like asciidoctor, which comes with a pdf backend. But this will need adjustment of your config.

That being said, asciidoc(-py3) needs dblatex only for generating pdf output, and  - apparantly - has an alternative tool for that. So, out of the many Fedora packages which formally depend on dblatex via asciidoc, only those which generate pdf output really depend on dblatex.
