aarch32 is the new marketing name for what we used to call the 'arm instruction
set'. armv8 is the most current incarnation of the 32-bit ARM instruction set.
While the armv8 spec strongly suggests the inclusion of the VFP/Neon and other
instructions. It is not strictly required. So yes, softfloat is still being
used and is needed in some cases.
There are multiple ARM licenses who claim to have armv8 compatible CPUs that do
not have floating point units. (Note, all of the cases I know of these are
32-bit CPUs -- and all are geared toward embedded.)
