That may be the case with Oracle, but not with PostgreSQL.

pg_basebackup will not parallelize at all.

I found the following article about backup tools useful:
https://thebuild.com/blog/2026/04/30/after-pgbackrest/

You should consider alternatives to parallelism, since parallelism
will only help up to the limit where the disk is saturated.
One think you should seriously consider is incremental backup,
which would reduce the backup time considerably (but not the
restore time).
