It is already in the debian repositories (version 2.5, mind you) for buster-backports, bullseye(testing) and sid(unstable). Hence, "apt-get install rspamd" should yield you a working version (albeit "outdated") as long as you run buster (with the backports repository enabled[0]), bullseye or sid.

No, the rspamd.com repository does *not* contain arm64/armel/armhf packages.

Looking at the "build process" part of the rspamd.com/downloads.html, it tells me:
cmake ../rspamd -DENABLE_HYPERSCAN=OFF -DENABLE_LUAJIT=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebuginfo
should give you a version with hyperscan disabled (this is a wild guess, based on the syntax already used).
