This wisdom is a bit outdated, especially on heavily modded servers.
Minecraft is limited by a single thread, but some stuff does run on other threads. In addition the JDK will do compilation and GC on other threads now, which is especially apparent if you run GraalVM like you should.
Minecraft wont scale to 16 cores. But if you buy a 2C/4T instance, you are going to get less performance than you would get on a wider one.

Hmm, not so outdated. if you’re talking about JVM gc then sure but pretty much everything is built around a single thread ticking the mod. I know some mods can do chunk pregen on another thread but those are rarely used.
