I'm not a framebuilder but IMHO
Any tubes with visible creases/lines in them are probably dangerous and prone to failure. Any 'round' dents are less serious and more likely to be cosmetic.
However, that seat stay dent looks nasty in the first photograph. The rest of them don't seem to bad.
You may be lucky and just be able to bondo the dents, repaint and it will be all dandy. But you do want Witcomb or someone, to give it the once over.
You also probably want to strip the frame and really check the metal, paint hides many sins (such as cracking lugs, ripples etc).
