Would parallelizing it to two distinct cores help with the issue?


From my reading of the issue, no. The limiting factor on the Pi side is available storage buffer. The camera sends raw files down the wire and the app caches them in RAM before concatenating them with ffmpeg. Could a Pi4 with USB3 NVMe be used? Maybe, if the writes are faster than the camera.

No, this is about memory bandwidth.


No, it is not. Camera interface on the pi cant work faster than 120MB/s. Do you really think 120MB/s is a bottleneck?


Not if you're bottlenecked on memory bandwidth or capacity.
