Yes. I want to keep the output in UTF-8, keeping things like people's
names and even Unicode punctuation which was part of the .texi source.

Thanks, I didn't know about these! But that would still leave the
various forms of double quotes, the EM-DASH, and a few other things
in the Unicode style that I don't like.
What I want is an option which will output all texi2any's punctuation
characters in ASCII, whilst leaving the UTF-8 characters in the .texi
source untouched.
