I do all my markup, including diagrams (PlantUML and more), in AsciiDoc and I have yet to find a good reason to switch to one of the many markdowns.

Yes, I am considering to switch to AsciiDoc in future. Does Github have proper support, or do you have to write in a subset?

Asciidoctor is in the supported markup list in the GitHub Markup README[1], which means you might need to enable compat-mode for strict AsciiDoc syntax support. The Asciidoctor repository's README.adoc renders just fine[2].
