That's correct. iPhone 8 is not capable of being updated past iOS 16.7.10. There will be never be an update to iOS 17 or higher on your iPhone. If you need a higher level iOS version, then you'll have to retire your old iPhone and buy a new or newer iPhone, which is capable of running the newest iOS version.
