Your absolutely fine. If it was the other way round you may have probs as a 9 speed chain is slightly thinner than an 8 speed one so a 9 speed chain may not fit the 8 speed jockey wheels causing it to jump off and generally be a bit shit, hence why folk are telling you to run an 8 speed chain rather than a 9 speed one on your 8 speed cassette, hope this helps and good luck with the build.
