It looks like good visibility to me.

Not very good. The clouds are very thick; while you'd be able to see okay, I bet you couldn't see more than a 1/2 a mile in any direction. With weight of 90 atmospheres at the surface, any wind that would blow would feel like an ocean current if you were 2000 feet down. And hot!
Not a great place to build a retirement home.

Those Venera 9 shots are taken from a camera low to the ground, aimed almost squarely at it. You can't get an idea of general visibility from that.

the clouds are in the upper atmosphere. at the surface there is no visibility problem, but there is a problem that the camera tends to melt (it's 450 degrees C).

Probably badly distorted images is all you would see because of heat waves from the surface which is hot enough to melt lead.
