I'd like my users to be able to post a comment anonymously. Is this possible? Or could this be a dev request?

Sure, it's possible. Just navigate to Dashboard > wpDiscuz Forums admin page, edit the "Default Form", set the Name and Email fields not-required using the according option.
More info here: https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/wpdiscuz-7/getting-started/manage-comment-forms/comment-form-builder/#comment_form_fields
As a result, the "*" symbol will disappear, i.e. these fields will become optional.
If you want to hide those fields at all, use the CSS codes below.
For hiding the email field use this CSS code:
.wpdiscuz-item.wc_email-wrapper.wpd-has-icon {
display: none;
}
For hiding the name field use this CSS code:
.wpdiscuz-item.wc_name-wrapper.wpd-has-icon {
display: none;
}
Put the code in the Top Admin Bar > Customize > Additional CSS > "Additional CSS" textarea, save it, delete all caches and check again.
Please don't forget to press Ctrl+F5 (twice) on the frontend before checking.
Important: Before adding the code, you should uncheck the "Field is Required" checkbox.
