Here is a partial answer: the Continuum Hypothesis implies that all Parovichenko spaces are soft-Parovichenko; the proof is a bit long, so I put it in a PDF-file on my website.

Also, I retract my claim in the comments that all compactifications with $\omega_1+1$ as a remainder are soft. It is true, in ZFC, that $\omega_1+1$ is soft-Parovichenko but "all compactifications with remainder $\omega_1+1$ are soft" is equivalent to $\mathfrak{t}>\omega_1$.

Added 2018-11-12: The note linked to above now contains a, consistent, example of a Parovichenko space that is not soft-Parovichenko. The example is the ordered space $\omega_1+1+\omega_1^\ast$.
