None of the machines I own are encumbered with "secure" boot. Debian 12 installs without issue on all of them. "Secure" boot is not a requirement.
I know this doesn't solve your question, but it will probably be much less of a headache if you isolate your operating system installations across separate hard drives. Let the hardware be your boot selection method, instead of messing around with notoriously fragile GRUB.

From the manual for your motherboard model, your board is new enough that it uses UEFI boot while having an option for UEFI CSM to support "legacy" boot. Either mode should work successfully, although UEFI boot mode is required if you plan on using fwupd to update device firmwares.I don't know any reason I can't install in Secure Boot mode and just leave it at that, on this machine -- but I haven't had this in the past and I'm not 100% sure this old BIOS supports that.
