 category-template.php, line 1089 ff:

 {{{#!php
 function _wp_object_count_sort_cb( $a, $b ) {
         return ( $a->count > $b->count );
 }
 }}}

 This throws a Deprecation warning with PHP 8: "Deprecated: uasort():
 Returning bool from comparison function is deprecated, return an integer
 less than, equal to, or greater than zero in `wp-includes/category-
 template.php`

 changing the above code to

 {{{#!php
 function _wp_object_count_sort_cb( $a, $b ) {
         return ( $a->count - $b->count );
 }
 }}}

 fixes the warning for me, while still sorting as before.
