We have a seat reservation from Montreaux to Interlaken, but we are going on to Lucerne. Do we need a seat reservation for the Interlaken to Lucerne portion of the trip? I think it is still considered part of the Golden Pass trip, but I haven't seen that people need a reservation.

You do not need a seat reservation for the Interlaken to Luzern train. You also do not need a reservation for the Montreux to Interlaken train either, but if you take one of the through GPX trains they are a good idea.
The Interlaken - Luzern train however is 10 cars long in summer, so enough seats for everyone.

You can get a seat reservation if you really want one. They cost 14 CHF, which is 9 CHF more than Swiss IC trains. I guess Zentralbahn figured they were leaving money on the table by not offering them to paranoid tourists.
