When I tried updating my network of 200+ WordPress websites to 8.0, more than 40 websites broke directly. It's a bit better on 8.1 but in no way is WordPress ready for 8.x at this point.

PHP 8 is in "beta support" currently, but that's just Core. A lot of plugin developers are lightyears behind it seems:

WP Core is absolutely compatible. Its the themes, plugins and custom code (usually in functions.php) that isn't.

I actually said that! A base install runs fine on 8.1, but plugin developers are lightyears behind it seems.
