 Your wifi driver might not be availble in Debian 10. You need to find
out the wifi card you are using and check to see if it is supported in
Debian (buster, testing, unstable)

https://packages.debian.org/buster/firmware-iwlwifi
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/firmware-iwlwifi
https://packages.debian.org/sid/firmware-iwlwifi

Step 1)

If supported in Debian buster.

sudo apt-get install iwlwifi

If supported in bullseye (debian testing)

See:

https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Install_Software#Install_from_Debian_Testing

If supported in sid (debian unstable)

See:

https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Install_Software#Install_from_Debian_Unstable

Step 2)

Find the correct pci (wifi) device to attach to the the sys-net VM.

You might need to install the Realtek firmware package in the Debian
template. I wouldn't be too hasty to rule out Fedora; I've seen a number
of bugs filed against Network Manager + wifi on 29 & 30. Did you run it
baremetal as long as you have in Qubes?

Brilliant idea!
But sadly turned out to be mainly informative. Debian doesn't see the
wifi card at all, it only works on fedora 29 & 30 (not 28). But I've
tried fedora 29 & 30 baremetal on this machine, and this doesn't happen
there. So it is either Qubes- or Xen-specific.

Any other ideas are welcome.

Try swapping your sys-net template from Fedora to Debian or vice-versa.
Sometimes one distro will handle a wifi card better than another.
