I can't speak for the DocBook community, although my sense is that most 
people on this mailing list use XSL-FO rather than dblatex.  The 
developer of dblatex is Benoît Guillon.  Back when we were using 
dblatex, he was responsive to emails, but the last release I see is 
2016, so I suspect he's no longer actively maintaining it.

That said, the XSLT code that translates DocBook XML into LaTeX is 
included in the dblatex package, so you can edit it to produce whatever 
LaTeX code you want.  We did that in our project, although I confess I 
found XSLT extremely hard to debug.  So yes, you can translate <code> 
into \lstinline, and that particular transform sounds like it would be 
fairly simple.
