Does anyone make sure to whitelist Google bots? How important is this for a larger site and TechSEO?

In building some stuff, I've noticed how much additional resources are needed to get through firewalls and Cloudflare stuff without a whitelist.

Can someone help me understand 404 and Soft 404?

I'm a little confused about these two. I know a 404 means the page isn't there anymore, but what exactly is a Soft 404? Why does Google sometimes show a Soft 404 even when the page opens?

Technically, everything is correctly setup - self-referencing canonicals, hreflang across the main service site and news section, different schema markup for UK and US, open graph and metadata. Content wise, English has been American for both sites in the past - now different with local focus for each, on the main service pages. It remains duplicate in the news sections as cannot be de-duplicated.
