What happens in an optimistic cross chain bridge (like Across) if the source chain re-orgs? If L1 finality takes a few minutes, how is across able to get funds to destination chain faster than that? What happens if L1 re-orgs due to a soft fork and worst case the deposit never happened?

Across is basically loaning you money to speed up your bridge. If the system reorgs on them its like they gave out a bad loan and it doesnt get paid back. The relayers are taking the risk of settlement not completing as they expect.
