Does building a base on the Moon increase the total mass throughput humanity can deliver to elsewhere in the solar system — and at cosmic scales (Tt/yr), what constraints bind first on each side?

For each propulsion class — (a) chemical methalox (Starship-like primary regime), (b) electric / ion propulsion stages, (c) nuclear thermal rockets (NTR), (d) nuclear pulse propulsion (NPP / Orion-style) — and for both Earth-launched and Moon-launched cargo: what fraction of LEO (or Moon-surface) mass reaches each destination (GEO, cislunar, Mars, NEAs, Belt, Jovian, Mercury, sundivers), and which destinations are categorically unreachable from each side under each propulsion class?
