PHP 8 has plenty of breaking changes (https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/08e6c209550a268500bbdef4...), mostly in the department of throwing errors more aggressively, and fixing some long-standing "features" (like 0 == "foobar" being true). But there's a budget to this, and you have to strike a balance between how much code you break and what benefit you get out it.
