I was of the idea that the information from bitnodes is reliable. But that changed when I looked closely into the information I get from running my node.
It's hard to find reliable source of information for bitcoin nodes, and Bitnodes is certainly not totally accurate, especially when you compare it with Luke Dashjr charts that are showing much more bitcoin nodes.
Historical chart is showing that number of nodes is around 50k, and there is interesting pie chart showing Taproot nodes is more than 67% currently:
