I agree. We hope that with time people will contribute more readers
to ParaView (or VTK). Our current priority is to implement readers used
by our customers.

This will be in ParaView in the future. I don't know how soon though.

Sure it does. You can either run ParaView with a detach 3D window
or in client-server mode.

ParaView has extensive support for large displays. It has two built
in powerwall options: Ice-T and native. It is also possible to use
Chromium with ParaView. Stereo support for Ice-T is in the works. 
It is, of course, possible to modify the source code to make it work
with a particular VR device.
