> Is a "soft" lifter a good indication that it is not pumping up properly?

Not really. It just means it has beld the oil out. They can do that and
still build pressure once the oil pump starts pumping.

With 100K on the engine, you'll want to replace the cam too. Putting new
lifters on a worn flat tappet cam can be done but is risky with low ZDDP motor oils.
Have you been into your engine? Does it still have the aluminum timing gear,
failure prone 2 piece valves and original valve stem seals. If so, you'll
want to replace all of that.
