I guess black wins but we need some tablebases to know how many moves.

This is one of the simplest 7 piece tablebases to generate and I guess that a
year can be enough to generate it (at least if people decide to give effort to
the KNNNN vs KQ tablebases and not to some other tablebases with more practical
value like KRP  vs KRP or KQP vs KQP.
