Are there any "citizen science" initiatives where I can buy a device like this and upload my insect counts to some database that's useful for researchers?

I have been interested in setting up some things like home weather monitoring, ADS-B, streaming webcams for wildlife, etc. anyway so this would be a fun item to add to that.

Cornell is doing something along those lines for birds using audio recordings. It’s just a smartphone app though - https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/sound-id/

I was using it today, and any day when there are birds around. It correctly identifies birds you can barely hear. It's become as useful as binoculars to me. A great free app.

they also release the model. I've recorded hours of audio outside my house and run it through the model on my desktop with GPU.

Are they using birdnet or something else?
