Water softener and steam boiler

I've been noticing some scaling in my appliances and shower glass doors and was really contemplating on adding a water softener.
But before I make a decision, I would like to get some Pros and other HO input on this. I've been reading that soften water is bad for the boiler causing it to rust.
So, do I run a dedicated fresh water line bypassing the softener to the steam boiler and outdoor faucet?
By doing that, my boiler fill will no longer be " hot".
Thanks in advance!
