What does the rep range have to do with working on the other issues?

Not much I suppose, other than I'm going lighter to keep my form cleaner. I guess I just mentioned those issues as a reason why I am going lighter. So I guess, really a better way to ask is, can higher reps still lead to progress in strength and or size?

Alone, no, they will not increase strength. Hypertrophy is not a cut and dry issue, but high reps tend to become about muscular endurance and often leads to really shitty form since there will most likely be some major muscular imbalances. The hamstrings and glutes are the often the first to go and leads to rounding of the lumbar.
