I don’t expect any delay to launch 8.
The profile for Flight 8 will certainly be repeating what was planned for Flight 7, and Musk has already said that modifications will be needed to the engine bay & firewall.
There was also some skin peeling in the vicinity of the payload doors (Pez).
So whatever was previously planned for Flight 8, e.g. even a possible Ship catch will be delayed to a future flight. I'm sure lots of useful data was collected from S33, but a lot will still need to be repeated.
