Is it so busy that it is unable to push the Lustre servers to full
capacity?

No.  All access to the Lustre servers have to go through a Lustre
client.

It sounds like you need to scale up with more Lustre clients (aka
gridftp servers).  Whether gridftp as a service supports growth through
parallelization or not, I have no idea.  Typically with services that
don't, something like round-robin DNS can be used to spread load.  Other
techniques can be used to make an IP service that is not natively
parallel provide parallel access.
