Correct, RubyGems doesn't have a way to install a man page (that I know
of). You get the man page when you install via the Linux package.

dnf install asciidoctor (Fedora/RHEL)
apt-get install asciidoctor (Debian/Ubuntu)

Having said that, the man page is inside the gem, so I've been thinking
about adding a flag to asciidoctor much like in asciidoc that resolves the
man page from the installation directory. Something like

asciidoctor -h manpage

Until then, you could resolve it using:

man "$(dirname $(gem which asciidoctor))/../man/asciidoctor.1"

I'll add a note about this to the migration guide.

Wow, really? You're the first person I've ever heard say that. I find the
CSS in AsciiDoc Python hideous and dated. That's what prompted me to create
the default stylesheet in Asciidoctor.

Just grab the CSS from AsciiDoc Python and pass it to the stylesheet
option. It will work for most elements.

asciidoctor -a stylesheet=asciidoc.css document.css

This is one of the things covered in the migration guide that I mentioned.

There are other themes you can use as well (though some are in need of
updating).

That's a feature of the default Asciidoctor stylesheet. The preamble is
treated as a lead paragraph, which means it has enlarged text. It's a style
preference. You can always use your own stylesheet or tweak the CSS if you
don't like it.

I'll add a note about that to the migration guide.

Here's the issue tracking the addition of the migration guide:
