Typically is less than 25, But the games you play with provisional rating do affect other players rating and fact your is provisional does not affect their rating in most national system.
Where problem is that young players unlike adults can get better really quickly. And FIDE rating is initial for 10 games but must include wins. And some of those 10 games will be against other young player who barely got their 10 games.
The initial rating should handle this I agree but evidence shows otherwise.

Given that estimating random variables value from noisy data in problem of statistics I do wonder who else thant statistician could do it? Well any with good command of applied maths will suffice but statistics is exactly the right background
Also if look at kaggle competition results table there are several reference implementation Glicko-2 placed 56th ja chessmetric by Dr. Sonas on place 39.
So he true connoisseur of the art
