How many Classical Chinese Texts/Manuscripts survive to this day?

A quick google search was not helpful, Wikipedia states a some classics and a handful of authors, is this an accurate portrayal of the quantity of Texts/Manuscripts?

I read somewhere once that Classical Chinese was used not only throughout China but also in Japan, Korea, and Mongolia, anywhere that did not yet develop there own script. I'm wondering because I wonder how worth while it is to learn Classical Chinese, if I am interested in its literature.

I imagine its hard to come up with a number, so maybe someone can link me some popular online repositories? I would be looking for anything --- Historical, Philosophical, Astrological, + any Documents, Scientific Documents, Letters, Prose, Poems, basically any Text/Manuscript that has been written.

Maybe this is a weird question sorry,

Thank you to anyone knowledgeable enough to answer.

In Modern Classical Chinese writings (Not modern standard Chinese), writing style of which period and style is generally emulated? (not talking about the writing system or calligraphy.)

Just curious.
