Best article I've found on this mentions tools like ReactPHP to switch to parallel tasks when one task becomes IO bound:

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
I know you can scale PHP quite a bit via good caching layers, etc. before the CPU performance becomes a serious bottleneck. Just wondering what the hive mind thinks on it these days.
It’s mostly a talking point now. Workers handle concurrency fine for typical web apps, and FrankenPHP/Octane, and others along with queues cover most of the cases where it used to hurt. Real CPU-bound work is the main exception.

Welcome!
Curious, after being out of the PHP world for some time... is being single-threaded a true limitation, or is that just a talking point of naysayers?
Damn, PHP has been handling concurrency for decades. It just does it the way my family handles conversations: everyone in a separate room, shouting.
That's @michaelborn's first reply.
