Function-field analogue of Cilleruelo's least-common-multiple conjecture

Let q=pkq=p^k be a prime power, and let fFq[T][X]f\in\mathbb{F}_q[T][X] be a fixed irreducible polynomial with XX-degree d2d\geq 2. Define

Lf(n):=lcm(f(Q):QFq[T] monic, degQ=n).L_f(n):=\operatorname{lcm}\left(f(Q):Q\in\mathbb{F}_q[T]\text{ monic},\ \deg Q=n\right).

Let Vf:={gFq[T]:f(X+g)=f(X)}V_f:=\{g\in\mathbb{F}_q[T]:f(X+g)=f(X)\} and cf:=1/Vfc_f:=1/|V_f|. The function-field Cilleruelo conjecture. As nn\to\infty,

degLf(n)cf(d1)nqn.\deg L_f(n)\sim c_f(d-1)nq^n.

This is the function-field analogue of Cilleruelo's conjecture. The source presents it as a conjecture; the supplied material gives no resolution status.
