Do you need root? I would look more at a custom ROM to get to the latest OS. There is at least one Android 14 based rom for the oneplus 8. I run the latest OS on an old Pixel 3XL with no issues. No root as I don't find I need it anymore these days.
If you need root then yes, you are looking at extracting and patching the boot image with Magisk. There are probably pre-patched kernels on XDA already.

Yeah, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing (and I mean very little knowledge). I had no idea what I was doing and soft bricked it. Was just able to flash back to stock ROM tonight (after days of trying) with MSM tool. Was really lucky. Oof
