How to attach parquet slats to leveling compound?
I am grateful for any tips on how to attach parquet strips on a leveled floor and what should be placed in between!
Initially, I had planned to lay 25mm tongue and groove on the floor to then nail the parquet strips into it. However, since the floor is heated and it's the only heat source in the house, 25mm tongue and groove would steal way too much heat, which is why the floor is being leveled. I still want to lay the parquet strips (due to the herringbone pattern) and not the usual "click flooring," but am now wondering how I should proceed.
Another question that arises is what I should place between the leveling compound and the final floor. The usual "underlay foam" can hardly be recommended on underfloor heating due to its insulating property. Any suggestions?

there are special adhesives from casco that withstand high moisture levels in the substrate and can be applied directly to, for example, concrete. it should work on self-leveling compound as well. search on casco's website. I believe there are product descriptions there.
As mentioned, there is glue for gluing solid wood flooring directly to concrete slabs with high humidity (RH>65%). But if you're skeptical, lay tiles so you don't have to worry.
I used:

but I had floor gypsum between the concrete and the wood.
I believe what is relevant if you're going to glue to concrete/screed where RH is higher than 65% is:

"Casco Parkett Elastic Plus 3440 can be used on most types of substrates such as concrete, leveling compound, metal, wood, and plywood."
