Calamares is available on the Debian 10 live images, which are
available here if you would like to test them:

The normal debian-installer is still available in the installer images
and the boot menu of the live images so there are still accessible ways
to install Debian 10.
The debian-installer frontend that ran in Debian live images in earlier
releases was very buggy so it was removed.
Some time after the removal, some Debian folks discovered the Calamares
cross-distro install system and added it to Debian and the live images.
It looks like the cause of the accessibility issues is that Calamares
runs as root instead of the user of the session. Calamares uses the KDE
partition manager and version 4 of that allows it to be run as the user
but unfortunately that was not released early enough for it to reach
buster. So the good news is that the accessibility issues are being
solved but the bad news is that they likely won't be for buster.
