Rsyslog does not impose any limits on additional threads a plugin uses internally. For example, omfile uses multiple helper threads when async writes are configured. Also, there is no real difference from rsyslog's PoV between running in a console session vs. as background service. With systemd, the code path is actually the same, as systemd uses -n itself. So if it runs in a console session but not as service, the reason most probably is somewhere in the system config.
