Yeah, the only reason why I mentioned caching layer because in my experience, it can help you save a LOT of server costs even initially (especially with the model Reddit/Voat have). Almost all the 'guests' would receive a cached version of the page.

Later when the resources are stretched, its the caching server you scale. This also provides the "read only" mode Reddit has during lock down modes.
