Is the 5 to 2 balancer throughput unlimited?
No. It is balanced: it draws evenly from every input and gives every output an equal share. It is not throughput unlimited, so when only some inputs are fed or some outputs are blocked, an internal bottleneck can keep the total below what the remaining belts could carry. That is fine where all belts run full; where they often do not, check the other layouts and nearby configurations for one marked throughput unlimited.
Built with express (blue) belts, splitters and undergrounds. The collection lists this layout as working with red, blue and turbo undergrounds, so you can rebuild it in any of those three tiers. Yellow is not on that list, and the collection has no yellow version of this configuration.
Compatible underground tiers listed by the source: red, blue, green (turbo). No yellow alternate in the collection.
