Are the permissionless decentralized tools really not prepared for any level of throughput yet?
Nope. Since Web browsers don't speak any fancy decentralized protocols you either need a centralized/censored gateway like ipfs.io or everyone has to install client software which kills adoption.

Isn't parler's primary userbase a phone app (i.e. client software)?
Not any more, considering that their app was banned from iOS and Google Play.

Not if you want anyone to actually use it or if you want to be able to monetize it.

Honestly they seem to have a captive audiance, who feel they are being censored. If anyone remotely mainstream could succesful transition to being hosted on tor, it could probably be them (not that tor is decentralized.)
Genuine question
Are there any tools for hosting large volumes of user generated content in a decentralized permissionless way?
Even if you have to pare down the front end and reduce reliance on some infrastructure concepts, is there any way to do it right now?
