Do you have an estimate of the number of visits at each move?

No idea. Maybe it would be possible to estimate this by guessing a network you think they are using (e.g. latest best 40 block) and then seeing if the game LZ ends up playing moves which only rise to become the first choice of your locally run LZ after some number of playouts e.g. I run LZ and it wants to play move A until 20k but then after 20k move B is number 1 (and let's assume run for a further 100k and B stays number 1), then if game LZ played B you have some evidence visits was over 20k but no ceiling. If after 150k local testing the number 1 move switched to C then you have evidence game playouts was also <150k. Just based on random enthusiasts having a 1080 Ti or two I'd expect the Wbaduk LZ to be at least something like that so probably several 10s of thousands playouts a move, but that's just a guess. Note I think these games are actually played on the Japanese 'Yugen No Ma' server and wbaduk has some relay thingy.
