https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/
seems to include both d-i images and live images that have the non-free
firmware included, if I'm reading correctly.
My understanding is that the live images are primarily intended for
the typical "live system" use-case descended from things like Knoppix
(boot machine from USB stick or optical media; use machine with OS from
RAM, USB stick or optical media; shut down machine; no trace is left),
with permanent installation via Calamares being considered somewhat
experimental.
