Do websites get banned for not using hard 404s.  I noticed on this
list http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/movers_shakers?lang=en all were
using soft 404s

You can use any kind of custom  404 page PROVIDED your server FIRST
responds with the response code 404.

If the server responds 200 OK and then shows a page is that ok though?

example:  http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/britdey_does_not_exit_spears/
shows a 200 with links that then feed other pages SEO ranking but at
the same time there are over half a million of these indexed in google
which also pick up on hundreds of thousands of key words meaning more
visitors.

It's not FROWNED upon. It just constitutes a messed up website if you
cannot  control this elementary server response.
Any garbage url will "exist" since there's nothing to say otherwise in
the manner that robots recognize: a 404 response code.
