Not yet, as far as I know.
Isenkram provide two functions, one is to locate and install firmware
packages and the other is to install hardware specific non-firmware
packages. I believe I saw some work adding similar firmware related
code to d-i, but am not sure it is working yet. For the non-firmware
packages, I am not aware of any alternative to isenkram.
I suspect a good way forward for Debian Edu is to drop
debian-edu-hwsetup and call isenkram directly instead. Perhaps by just
installing isenkram-cli and let its tasksel hooks do its magic. Not
sure if this will loose some functionallity, or if all the potential
workarounds are obsolete now. I do not remember how details about what
d-e-hwsetup is doing any more.
