pzstd does support -d (decompression) option with a default of 4 processes, which can be set with -p. It's part of the zstd package, but I guess it's separate because it's experimental? Not sure what the difference is between zstd -T4 for compressing, and pzstd -p4 for compressing. Anyway, for a test file I get ~125% CPU with pzstd -d, so it is able to do more work, and slightly decreases time.
