So according to https://ethernodes.org/ there are currently around 5154 synced nodes running EVM code. Based on this, how would you estimate the EVM's total computing power.

All the nodes are processing the same thing so the processing power is equal to one node.
This is why blockchain technology took so long to be invented. If you were going to present a paper at a computer science conference where you use 5000 nodes to do the work of 1 node you never would have had the paper accepted.
