any reasonable way to estimate the supply pressure?


With a pressure testing gauge!


Well yes, but I was wondering it if was possible to get a sketchy answer
from flow rate or how high a jet of water could be produced, trying to
avoid too many round trips ...


The height would vary with the size of the "nozzle" e.g. an open hose
will not project water anywhere near as high as one fitted with a spray
of some kind.

ISTM more likely the PRV is defective - I have seen them fail "blocked"
before.
