Comment (by kadamwhite):

 For anybody running into this between now and when the patch goes live,
 we've worked around it in our application by passing
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 'terms' => array( 0 ),
 }}}
 within the tax_query array. Looking at how NOT EXISTS queries get parsed,
 it seems like this terms parameter is not used at all, so it seems to
 mitigate the PHP8 fatal without compromising application logic...
