Not for those of us that run the package managed version of PHP in 
Ubuntu Server LTS it hasn't.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

PHP 8.x is brand new as of *next year* from the perspective of those who 
patiently wait for certain OS level updates because overall system 
stability is important for critical production servers.  The x.x.2 for 
the Ubuntu LTS series tends to be sufficiently stable for most 
environments but 22.04.2 hasn't been released yet.  Hence my earlier 
comment.
