Mark,
What you may be looking for is the media=prepress setting, which will insert blank pages so that the chapters (and special chapters) are always facing. (And you can tweak this per chapter by using the %nonfacing option).
Beyond that, the answer is no. Asciidoctor PDF creates an opinionated PDF (because we have to draw the line somewhere or else the complexity just skyrockets). But the answer is also kind of yes because you can extend the converter to have it do whatever you want (within reason of what can be done using Prawn).
Best Regards,
-Dan

Is it possible to get this structure for asciidoctor-pdf using a book doctype:
front cover (yes, this can be done with the theme)
bare title page (title without subtitle or author) ??
blank page ??
title page (yes)
copyright page ??
dedication page ??
blank page ??
TOC (yes)
... parts & chapters ... (yes)
appendices (yes)
index (yes)
colophon (yes)
back cover (yes, this can be done with the theme)
In other words is it possible to exercise control over all the forematter pages?
