Find sites that use specific SPFx web part deployed at tenant level
You gave me a bit inspiration and so I looked into this issue a bit... I'm not 100% sure it works in all cases and it also only works on Modern pages... but I explored the idea of using Search API to find out if web parts are being used in an environment, and it worked for me.
I'd love to hear if this works for you.

Also, if it helps, here is a more robust approach from someone on twitter about using Application Insights for any future analysis needs you may require.

If you need some guidance on setting up SPFx and application insights, here is a post by Chris O'Brien on how to set this up.

Thank you for the workaround.
We have several classic sites. So we have to identify sites including Classic experience that have SPFx web part.
I see that we can go with App Insights. Now, I will have to convince my management to get Azure instance for this request. (Believe me, it is not easy !!!!!)
It would be great if Microsoft comes with a standard solution (atleast for Admins).
