How do we get a realistic estimate of deaths in a war if one side intentionally does not make their figures known?

You can’t really. The best you can do is take note of both sides “confirmed” kills, compare it to reported deaths on both sides, take in the ones reported as missing. Hope both sides keep accurate records, especially for things like POWs who will throw off your counts. Then look at what is reported post war when possible. Then accept your numbers are, at best, an educated guess.
