Isn’t Waymo famously reliant on having nearly as many remote operators as the have vehicles when they first had to disclose the number, and have outright refused to reveal it more recently?

I'm pretty sure that you're thinking of Cruise not Waymo. They released info last year that they very frequently had to step in, but that the ratio was still 1 operator per 15-20 fleet vehicles. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/06/cruise-confirms-robotaxis-rely-on-human-assistance-every-4-to-5-miles.html

Waymo does have support operators, but I can find no reference to how many they have in comparison to their vehicles.
