FWIW I have no idea whether adding nilfs2 support to d-i would make sense somewhat, just trying to answer so that you get an overall idea of the needed bits.

Yes for the first part, nilfs2.ko is already available in the linux image packages, and would only need to be included in some udeb for use within d-i; should be trivial. You may want to look at what happens in the various partman-* packages; you probably would need to have an extra udeb built from the nilfs-tools package (for mkfs.nilfs2 and possibly other bits), and a new partman-nilfs udeb shipping the various bits for partman integration, and depending on both the kernel and the nilfs-tools udeb.
