I'd have strong wish to keep the chef-client as an official Debian 
package and not be required to `gem install chef`, build my own package 
or roll out some crazy omnibus stuff (and pay the ridiculous license fee).

Do you mean cinc(https://cinc-project.gitlab.io/) when you write tinc?

The chef developers are actively working on this:
https://github.com/chef/chef/issues/9227

What would be the best way for me to help keep chef or cinc in Debian?

Kind regards

Christopher
