Tablets with such a collection of ports are unusual (to say the least).

This is typically included, otherwise it's not much use.

Chromebooks and Chrome OS tablets could fulfill some of your 
requirements. Installing Debian on the ones with Intel processors should 
be pretty straightforward if you don't mind the IME.

You might also be interested in the upcoming PineTab.
https://www.pine64.org/pinetab

The Allwinner A64 is already reasonably well supported in Debian's 
kernel and more features are (expected to be) mainlined in 5.1 (5.2).

That's assuming you don't want to run the ancient BSP kernel and 
proprietary drivers.

Hope this helps,
Andrei
