Is 100 though too much to take off a 295 head?

why ruin a rare head? Get high compression pistons, flat tops are available.

So 100 thou is going over the top? Will the head still be functional?

These days I would not take more than .075" off any early small bore head, including the 295. Max .060" off is safer.
Reasons:
1. They had a much thinner deck than 1275heads when new.
2. After 50 years of corrosion they are even thinner in there. Expect head gasket leaks if you rip too much off.
