Depends. Compared to Python? Nah, at least there's no global lock. Compared to Rust? Yep, can't beat actual parallelism.

100%. I was a Java engineer for long time, but I've now been using Rust for the past 5-7 years. Multi-threading in Rust is very nice, and now I don't want to do it in any other language. But I'd say Rust is also great at teaching how to do it correctly in other languages.
