Yes, probably paras would be enough. Except when someone comes along
wanting one other thing. Then one other. By and large, DocBook has
abandoned attempts to be prescriptive. Unless there's a good reason,
anywhere you can put a block element, you can put any block element,
and anywhere you can put an inline, you can put any inline.

It's entirely reasonable to limit the elements you allow in a local
customization.
