Yes
Not sure I'd consider the Yes debut a prog album, ditto for Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull.
An unquestionable one not mentioned yet:
Steve Hackett - Voyage Of the Acolyte

Riverside - Out of Myself
Spock's Beard - The Light
"It's such a fine line between stupid and... clever" -- David St. Hubbins & Derek Smalls, Spinal Tap
It has its proggy moments. There's more of a continuous progression through the first three Yes albums than there is for the other three.
That's definitely true. IMO Tull's first prog album was their fourth- Aqualung. Floyd's IMO was also their fourth, Ummagumma.

Though very close are the great debuts by National Health, Anglagard, Mr. Sirius, Arti & Mestieri, Bo Hansson and Mike Oldfield. And okay, yes, King Crimson.
Yes
Leg End by Henry Cow is the most musically accomplished debut I ever heard by a rock group in general. Is it my fave? Possibly.
Almost without exception, debuts by (fairly) well known "Prog" acts tend to come across as uneven when compared to the respective artists' later output. Not really so with Leg End; it's different from what ensued, but not uneven.
