easy way to pump lava 50+ z levels upwards?
I found magma pool but it like -100+ z levels from the surface, is there an easy way to pump them upwards without building 100+ screw pumps all made of iron?

Not easy but there is a contraption known as the magma piston. It is properly dwarfy, Just google for it.

Also you could set something up with the minecart system. Not easy either, but handling lava should not be easy.

you could try the minecart version but thats quite some effort too, you'll find a guide here on steam

Glass is also magma-safe, so if you have sand on your map, that is probably cheaper than iron for a pump stack.
