Yes, the reproducibility crisis affects just about all disciplines. When researchers are pressured to aim for impact and citations in their publications that doesn't leave room to reproduce other people's results. So as you say in the soft sciences we have that results are failing to reproduce, but in the hard sciences we have results that we don't know if they would reproduce or not, because no one has attempted it.
