I don't think you'll be able to monitor it only with esxcli command...

Someone succeed to automate it using PowerCLI , you can monitor the action using PowerCLI so :

Else, take a look at the step 7 in this link, VAAI Thin Provisioning Block Reclaim/UNMAP In Action - VMware vSphere Blog

It explain you how you can "monitor" the process via ESXTOP command (you can see the quantity of MB deleted)

But i didn't find any tools or cli to monitor the action as you can monitor the progress of anything in vCenter, sorry..
