In newer must-gather versions (4.17.5+ and 4.16.27+ for now), there is a new file in the etcd_info subdirectory, that includes the etcd object count (check RFE-5765 [1] and the PR [2] for additional information).
That file (when present in the must-gather) can be used by the off-line script to show if there is any object with too many occurrences, as it could affects the etcd performance and cluster stability.
The file is a key-value json with object_kind: number_of_objects, like:
$ jq . etcd_info/object_count.json
{
"events": "1242",
"secrets": "635",
"configmaps": "525",
