Just for fun, I made a few tiny adjustments to the position, and came up with
this:

[D]8/8/pp1p4/6p1/2ppK1Pk/3P3P/5PP1/8 w - - 0 1

After playing around with several lines, I'm guessing that this is a Mate for
White in no less than 20 moves. The King can't find it easily unless I push all
the way past White's 8th move, and then it says Mate in 14.

White has to spend a lot more time in this position ensuring that he wins the
pawn race AND avoids stalemate.

What does your awesome machine say? How about ChestUCI, Franz?
