Not a lack of soul, lack of the ability to physically manifest it as aura. They would still have their soul inside of them.

To be fair in the same scenarios they are also huntsmen engaged in combat, which is also a good explanation for exhaustion. Also how tired was Merc after his fight with Yang? I don't remember him being that exhausted.

Being weaker than normal physically maybe, but I'm not sure about all the growth defects.
