To MySQL 8 or not to ...
I had one relatively big Laravel site and couple of WPs on that VM... Usage is not so big to be a drama, but It maybe become a good discussion as I do not find such here 
MySQL removed query cache as it makes usage unpredictable and that query cache encourage sloppy development ....
Reason to go with MySQL, they claim faster InnoDB reads which will benefit the Laravel site, it has a good dev which I think can optimize for everything new that comes.
Reason to stay on MariaDB path is that query cache is a stable 30+% of my usage case
