I don't use Debian stable, so I can't comment on that.  On Debian testing 
(which is pretty stable!) installing the complete toolchain requires only 
two commands:

$ apt install gcc g++ nodejs rust-all
$ cargo install tree-sitter-cli

That takes a couple of minutes at most.

As you know, regular users do not need to install the complete toolchain, 
a C and C++ compiler is enough.  It is only those few users that want to 
change the grammars or create new grammars that need a complete toolchain.
