Just put in oven. When I sifted the cake flour and folded into batter, I had small flour lumps but didn't want to beat with a whisk

Will these bake out of the cake or not? If not, should I have whisked or strained the batter?

It's possible that these lumps will bake out during the baking process, especially if the batter has enough moisture. However, to ensure a smoother texture, it's generally recommended to whisk or strain the batter before baking. Whisking or straining can help break up any lumps and create a more homogeneous mixture.
