One thing you could do is run debian on an external USB drive -- when
installing debian maybe put the /boot partition on the mac's internal
storage and the / partition on the USB drive. That's what I'm doing for my
home server, since it's an Odroid XU4 that boots off a (slow) sd card then
uses a much faster external USB 3 128GB flash drive as the root filesystem
-- it's worked just fine for several years. It also has a 6TB hdd attached
to it.
One consideration is you will probably want to spend a bit more to get a
faster USB drive -- maybe just get a USB to 2.5" sata drive adaptor and a
cheap SSD.
