I think, a possible solution is to manufacture a board with your stackup and all separate via sizes, that could be used; take a good capacitance meter and measure the hell out of bastards.

Anyway, a via capacitance is 1-1.5pF for regular ones on hi-speed boards; possibly smaller for blind/buried.

Also, a via, for all purposes, is not necessarily bad as a discontinuity. If it connects, say a pair of layers, that are fasr from each other, the via inductance will counteract its capacitance and the discontinuity will be
minimal.
