BS. Just mount the 8speed cassette onto the FH body with a spacer behind the cassette, use the 10 speed lockring AND TIGHTEN IT LIKE HELL. 50nm torque.
It won't bite into the FH body splines even after 2-3 years of use :) :)
btw, those spacers can be manufactured for 1-1.5 bucks, basically a bunch of plastic rings in the appropriate width.
alternatively, use 9speed sprockets with 8spd spacers. the spacing won't be perfect, but will be close enough to work quietly and smoothly. :)
