Wear it
Some of my watches also tend to run faster in the 'Crown right' position while being in the winders, i.e. dial vertical. See how your daily habits impact the accuracy of the watch. And 8s a day might appear a lot, but if you compare this gain to all seconds per day, your watch is accurate to 99.99% which very few mechanical devices/ machines can claim, especially being moved and shaken around!
You take in my view too much risk in sending the watch back to regulate it again as everytime a watchmaker opens your watch, another much worse thing can happen to it...

Timing on JLC Master Perpetual
Hello, My JLC Master perpetual has been to the Texas service center 2 times and finally a third time they sent it to Le sentier as they found the amplitude to be weak. The watch was losing time and was also abruptly stopping. There was no detail about wha...
De-magnetize it first
Magnetism is a common reason for a watch speeding up. If you don't have a degaussing machine, find a friend who does, or a cooperative watch repairman. Demagnetizing takes only seconds, and probably will be done for you for free. Cazalea
Also assuming it is not magnetized which I strongly believe is not the cause of this speedup, is +8 considered acceptable? Should it be sent back for adjustments?

Only you can decide what spec you are happy with, but I suggest you take it off the winder and wear it for awhile
By awhile, I mean weeks or a month wear it each day, or every other day. And then experiment with different ways of leaving it on the desk or bedstand at night. Watches are made to be worn and even though the winder may keep it wound so you need not worry...
