      No, no and no. The NSF study you cite is firstly out of date, and secondly, refers to an aerobic treatment tank with agitation, not the standard septic tank. A report from Mark Gross, Ph.D. and Terry Bounds, P.E. in Small Flows Quarterly from 2007 shows that the recharge water can have a significant effect on the function of a septic tank. I can provide the link if you’d like to read it.
      Water from a softener doesn’t need to be treated in a septic tank, so you may safely discharge elsewhere.
