I can only talk about the Raspi 4B, which is well supported by the
kernel in Debian stable, I don't use Wifi/BT, but they are supposed to
work. See also https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi4. Hardware
accelerated 3D seems to be missing, I personally don't need it on my
headless home server, it has never been attached to a display. There is
a friendly community in #debian-raspberrypi on IRC. AFAIK there is work
ongoing to support 3D acceleration. As a starting point for
installation, I can recommend the images provided at
http://raspi.debian.net.
