Well, as I said I'm not sure what asciidoc versions, if any, needed
the backslash inside backtick quoting. However, there is precedent in

[PATCH] Escape asciidoc's built-in em-dash replacement
AsciiDoc replace '--' with em-dash (—) by default. em-dash
looks a lot like a single long dash and it's very confusing when
we are talking about command options.
Section 21.2.8 'Replacements' of AsciiDoc's User Guide says that a
backslash in front of double dash prevent the replacement. This
patch does just that.

So until we know for certain that they're not needed, I'd rather not
actively remove them. Admittedly, there are lots of instances of `--
in the docs too, so making sure which way is "right" and then
replacing _all_ of them would probably be a nice cleanup.
