I would *love* to standardize on Debian and not support all the

Is reasonable to suggest that users of (for example) Mint should set
up their repositories list to pull from the linuxcnc-buster
repositories?
It's probably worth a try, but there are no guarantees that it'll work.
It depends on how closely the derivative distribution follows the Debian
upstream.
preempt-rt kernel packages are available from the normal package
servers, making installing LinuxCNC relatively straightforward. (I
think, my experiments have been limited)
That matches my experience. It's easy to install Debian off their
install media, install their realtime kernel, and then add the wlo deb
archive to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linuxcnc.list and `apt-get install
linuxcnc`.
I note that the RTAI images are on the LinuxCNC server for Precise (
http://www.linuxcnc.org/dists/precise/base/binary-i386/ ) but I don't
recall any instructions saying that they could be pickled up from
there as an install method.

There's also this, from before Jeff's awesome Stretch RT-Preempt ISO:
