DocBook was SGML for most of its lifetime, and only became XML-only with the newest version 5, I believe. So you can use custom Wiki syntax if your concern is XML's verbosity and unfriendliness as an authoring format.
Other than that, I don't have a particular bad experience using DocBook for the one conference paper where I used it. Especially compared to LaTeX' limited options for rendering copies to HTML, I'd say DocBook is far better, like you say.
Also, DocBook is supported by pandoc.
