Thanks for the install report and especial from reporting how to add
what is missing.
On the "firmware-realtek package doesn't include yet" are the expections
not quiet right. https://packages.debian.org/buster/firmware-realtek
says that the package is in "non-free". Which means it wouldn't get
included on official Debian install media.
Workaround is

Please do an install with firmware-testing-amd64-netinst.iso from
https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/daily-builds/sid_d-i/20200614-3/amd64/iso-cd/
and report back.
