In my opinion books for practitioners is not the place for such discussions. Deborah's book might be poorly written, but if we want to go where the foundations of disagreements are we have to reach philosophy. Bayessian advocates are also often philosophers, like i.e. Jacob Feldman.

From theoretical statisticians Larry Wasserman is more on the frequentist side. See for example his response on Deborah's blog [1]. But he doesn't advocate for it in his books. So yeah, besides Deborah, I am not aware of any other frequentist "propagandist".
