And it breaks applications too.I installed PHP 8.0 on my vps and when I wanted to install SMF 2.1.8 it breaks installation by numerous warnings.So I have to install another version of PHP for it.
It seems some expressions are no longer supported that might cause the themes stopped to work - as I noticed that array indexs described by {} is no longer supported and throws error while in PHP 7.3(at my local testing) it does not throw an error at least.
Well,unless the theme and application explicitly says support for PHP 8.x otherwise 7.3 is still fine.

Actually a little more annoying thing for me is the application uses apache(.htaccess for link shortening) but your server is nginx when you dont know how to properly conf it.
