I gave up and resigned myself to a clean install of Debian 13. However that also failed to provide any relief, as grub refused to install on the boot device.

Is NVRAM boot entries on your headless machine points to proper partitions (efibootmgr -v)?

Do you sync EFI System Partitions after updating grub? In Debian grub may update only one ESP.

I would try to put ESP on the USB drive, perhaps with both EFI/BOOT (for removable drives) EFI/debian directories.

Is EFI/debian/grub.cfg points to a proper partition with boot?

If you use secure boot then you may just copy EFI/debian from the machine where you installed Debian to the target machine (or to ESP on the USB drive).
