AFAIK the 8.0 release is one where Oracle breaks compatibility. So anyone considering MariaDB needs to switch before going to 8.0, otherwise switching will be much more painful.

IIRC it wasn't a big break from 5.7 unless you used some odd grouping or relied on its old+lossy defaults.

Though the single threaded performance fell off a cliff, tanking my CI performance.

Maria DB evolved very differently. I'm not sure how they stack up performance wise.

You can re-enable the old group by behavior, which we did.
