Invidious uses JavaScript to load more comments without having to leave the page, so it's true that you can only see the first page of comments when JavaScript is disabled. However, this JavaScript is free software from Invidious, being used to load comments stored on Invidious's server. It is not the proprietary JavaScript on YouTube that loads comments stored on Google's servers. In order to get comments and other information from YouTube, Invidious does scrape YouTube's Javascript, but I don't think that it actually executes the JavaScript, so you shouldn't have to run any proprietary software to run your own Invidious instance.
