How to get list of blocks for region on current page?

Question

I have a template of my custom function and I am display certain number of items per row in this template.

For this reason I need to figure out if there are any blocks on the current page in any of the sidebars of my theme(left and right) so I can adjust the number of visible items.

So my question is how to get the list of blocks that are displayed on the current route in certain region and their visibility conditions were already processed?

I do not need to have exact information, ie. if some blocks have #access set to false or if they return empty render arrays are not important.

There's a block.repository service with a getVisibleBlocksPerRegion() method. You can either use that or look at what it's doing.

This will cover access checks as well but not empty blocks.

This is however quite a bit of an overhead as all blocks are loaded and access checked twice. There is an issue to add caching there.

Alternatively, you can use preprocess of the region templates I guess.
