Looking at the docs about prose, asciidoctor-pdf can only indent paragraphs, not hardbreak lines.

The docs also suggest to set margin-inner to make the gap between two paragraphs like a normal line break, but that would affect all paragraphs.

prose:
  text-indent: 18
  margin-inner: 0

As an alternative, asciidoctor-pdf based on JavaScript allows you to use full CSS styling. At the moment it is an alpha version.
