Therefore my question: Do you have any experience how many cores and how much memory one should spend for an Orion instance with 1000 truly concurrent users? Or is that attempt futile and we should turn to cluster operation directly?

You might still be able to get away with throwing more memory and cores at Orion to scale up the number of concurrent users, I'm not sure what the choke points would be.

But the work we're doing now is looking at the cluster approach.  Put something in front of the Orion instances (like http://nginx.org/), split out the content and search indices so they can be shared, and run multiple servers against a common content and common search directory.
