Question: In a DAW, should the audio thread only render the audio graph? Should the another thread handle parsing the midi clips and generating note on / off events to send to the tracks? Sorry if this is obvious

you could very easily keep the MIDI events in memory and have the audio threads process those too, but it's up to you. If you're reading them from disk, though, you'll want some worker threads to stay ahead of that.
