Worth noting that in GP's case it may "only" be that the people running that specific server turned on the phone number requirement to view messages.

I thought that the server setting covered sending messages only, not reading them

Oh - perhaps? I feel sure I ran into one I couldn't see recently but would need to check.

A lot of discord servers require you to send a message or add a reaction to indicate agreement with their rules before you can even see the list of actual channels. I wonder if reactions are also blocked?

Yes, reactions would be blocked if the server requires a phone number verification to send messages, and it would prevent the channels from being seen.
