I’m pretty sure that Lucius Malfoy was Lord Malfoy in canon.
The canon Potterverse showed no signs of being semi-feudal though. I imagine that he was a lord in much the same way that present day Lords of the Commonwealth are, ie. upper class but without meaningful rights over the rest of the population.
Edit: a google search for Lord Malfoy doesn’t appear to bring up any text results from canon, but the potter wiki describes him as “aristocratic”.

You would be wrong.
Edit in response to your edit: He is “aristocratic”. He’s rich, he lives in a manor, he carries a cane, and he’s a pureblood. He’s just not a lord, or any other sort of noble.
