Is Foam Rolling good for energy & vitality?

The evidence points that way, though it's not yet conclusive. Meta-analyses and systematic reviews of foam rolling and self-myofascial release consistently find modest short-term improvements in range of motion and some recovery-related performance parameters, without the flexibility loss sometimes associated with static stretching before exercise. That's reflected in an evidence score of 42/100 for its role in energy & vitality, drawn from 9 studies (3 RCTs), with an estimated impact on longevity rated limited (21/100).
