Does black win, or is it a draw?

It is winable.

I probably didn't find the most elegant or perfect way, but it was sufficient:

[Variant "From Position"]

The plan is simple: check with queen until the king stands in front of his most advanced pawn or the pawn is pinned. Then advance your King. Repeat to come gradually closer with your King. Finally win all the pawns.
You can see that black wins using an endgame tablebase. The Stockfish analysis feature here on lichess has one.
