There are no kbin apps in the Debian repos (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

This is not surprising given how young #kbin is. However, I wonder if there are any projects underway. Are there any existing non-Debian / unofficial kbin clients that are functional in the slightest?

You can request that kbin be packaged here: https://wiki.debian.org/RFP

If you're techie enough, you could even volunteer to be the Debian maintainer.

I appreciate the link to the RFP page. But to be clear, I was surveying to find out if there even exists any kbin client to speak of. AFAICT, there are none.

Debian tends to be pretty conservative, and kbin is currently a pretty niche application that's only of interest to server admins. So, I suspect you're right. It probably wouldn't be packaged until a Debian Developer happens to be interested in it.
