8 speed chains work great with 5-6-7-8 speed clusters. 9s chains with
7-8-9.

Inner plates of 9 speed chains are narrower than 8 speed also the
rivets of 9 speed chains are flush to the outside of the chain plates.
( speed chain on 8 speed will most likely lead to chain rub or
shifting issues.

An 8-speed chain on a 9-speed cassette might or might not work, but it
will definitely be more finicky and intolerant of poor chainline
compared to a 9- or 10-speed chain on a 9-speed cassette.

No.
Get a nine chain, they are dirt cheap.
