What is the source for the minhag of Chasidim to have HaKafos on SA?

I suspect his reason was that the minhag /not/ to have hakafos on ST was  not
a /genuine/ minhag but a Reform-influenced practice.

No, no, no!!!!  This has nothing to do with Reform. Indeed, the introduction of HaKafos was a new innovation (reform) when it occurred. See R. A. Ya'ari's sefer for the entire historical development of HaKafos and dancing on ST.  Not having HaKafos predates the Reform movement!
