In most fantasy literature undeads don't have a soul. For example, liches keep
their soul in a separate jar, and zombies and such have no souls whatsoever
(explaining their complete lack of compassion etc.)
With that same logic, you should not gain souls from demons, devils,
elementals nor constructs (golems, gargoyles, oozes, animated items).

If we go further, there would just be philosophical conversation if demons,
devils, elementals or constructs have a soul. Reminds me of a story about a
golem who tries to understands feelings and a woman who falls in love with
that golem, and during that story they had a conversation if golems have a
soul or not. So romantic. :)
