My point of view is that discover was created with the purpose of
proposing the relevant packages for installation based on the present
hardware on a computer, and my suggestion to look into isenkram-cli come
from the fact that this package was created to cover the same purpose.
I also believe this goal is a valuable one to fulfill in Debian, and
that dropping the feature is doing those installing Debian a disservice.
Removing discover without adding a functional replacement is thus to me
not an advantage, but a missed opportunity to bring better hardware
handling to everyone currently having dsicover.

I am not aware of any other packages than discover and isenkram in
Debian providing information on which package to install for the
relevant hardware in or connected to a Debian computer.  Sadly discover
have not been maintained for a while now, and thus in my biased opinion
only isenkram provide the feature well today.  d-i provide a
reimplementation of isenkram-autoinstall-firmware at install time, while
isenkram provide it also after installation, in addition to the more
comprehensive handling of hardware related packages that are not
firmware related.
