I need to add support for Realtek NIC through the r8168-dkms kernel-module for a onboard-NIC.

Is that possible?

I already tried to add this via apt but there are no linux-headers installed by default for the latest kernel-5.3.13-3. What is the best way to get this done, or is support for this type of NIC impossible?

You have to install package pve-headers, then dkms should work. Note that a reboot might be necessary to ensure the loaded kernel is actually the latest installed one.
