I do think LxE 8s existed but (1) many of them are mistyped 1s, 3s, and even 6s and (2) if they are 8s, they tend to be self-preservation 8s as self-preservation 8s are known to be cheapskate. Sexual 8s are full-on Se valuers and most likely Se lead. I think 7w8 are more common in ExxP in General.
Being an enneagram 8 is the most compatible with the Beta's Complex of Subservience out of all of the quadra. In fact, Narajo's description of 8s (i.e. Lust, Punitiveness, Rebelliousness, Dominance, and Sensory-Motor Domiannce) is most consistent with both Se base and Beta values. Delta's Complex of Clipped Wings and Gamma's Complex of Tied Hands couldn't compare.
