> An alternative to the Classic Text Widget approach above is to disable
the new functionality on the existing Text Widget by removing filters and
javascript and overriding the widget registration, which seems to work
fine - I've put this into a plugin which is available on
[https://github.com/gitlost/ye-olde-text-widget], the zip can be
downloaded [https://github.com/gitlost/ye-olde-text-
widget/blob/master/dist/ye-olde-text-widget-1.0.0.zip?raw=true here].

Thanks a lot @gitlost your plugin saves me a lot of hassle on some sites
that had already updated to 4.8! (was so confident with WordPress I had
set some sites to auto update... will be a while before that trust is
back)
Can confirm it also works on MU
