Yes it does. The parachutes are unable to slow down the probes to a soft landing - they would have to be extremely large, which would make it even more heavy for landing. The large parachute on Perseverance slowed down the entry module to about 200 mph (321 km/h) which is not enough. Perseverance has a weight of 2,260 lbs (1,025 kilograms). The Mars Exploration Rover (Spirit) used parachute + retrorockets + inflatable airbags, but it weights only 408 lb (185 kilograms).
