Both are common. Debian aims to be good for any purpose.

If people use them, and if the upstream developers of these projects
remain active and responsive, they will likely remain in Debian.

Totally depends on the device. There are almost NO wifi devices that
can be used without some non-free firmware. But some also require a
driver (kernel module) to be built. Without knowing which device you
have, it's impossible to give exact steps.
Setting up wifi without a GUI is more challenging, but the Debian wiki
has instructions for it. Of course, those instructions won't work until
the hardware is supported (by installing firmware and/or driver as
needed).
