Almost! :-)

You're booting using grub (i.e. in UEFI mode). Checking the grub
config on current live images, the "/live/vmlinuz-5.10" options are
for live boot. The installer menu options are:

  menuentry "Graphical Debian Installer" {
    linux  /d-i/gtk/vmlinuz append video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=788 "${loopback}"
    initrd /d-i/gtk/initrd.gz
  }
  menuentry "Debian Installer" {
    linux  /d-i/vmlinuz  "${loopback}"
    initrd /d-i/initrd.gz
  }

so you'll want to edit one of *those* lines, adding "priority=low" as
you did above.
