I have an open brick box but the polybags inside are all still sealed. The set
is currently without an inventory
 
Set No: 2184  Name: XL Bulk Bucket
* 
2184-1 (Inv) XL Bulk Bucket
1000 Parts, 1997
Sets: Universal Building Set: Basic Set

There are nine bags of bricks and each one is different. I tried inventorying
the sealed bags but after one polybag I decided it was taking too much time.

I'm wondering if there are other options to inventory this such as submitting
a list of unique parts (but with quantities of one or estimated quantities) or
is it better to just wait until someone opens the sealed polybags to get accurate
quantities?

The box does not have a parts list printed on it and AFAIK there are no instructions

The only way is to upload an XML file. However, I've not had great experiences
with that and you still need to create the file.

For a set this old, unfortunately, a person just has to do the work. Are you
not wanting to open the sealed bags?

Depends on how long you want to wait. That set's been in the catalog uninventoried
for 18 years now . . .

I noticed there was a sealed one on eBay recently and I've been thinking
about spending the $100+ just to add an inventory to BrickLink. You could save
me that cost if you wanted to add the inventory. Just saying.
