Wasn’t the Rashash the only gadol in the last several hundred years to cast doubt on gilgulim? Because of the Rashash and those opponents from several hundred years before him, it’s probably not kefira to deny gilgulim, but believing in gilgulim is totally mainstream hashkafa. It’s just something most people don’t like to think, talk or learn about. I recommend R’ Yaakov Astor’s book on evidence for the afterlife (which has a chapter on this topic) — it’s really interesting.
