Specifically, if you need 8 arguments to specify a situation, it may
well be that these things would better be encapsuled in a class. Not
only you would be passing only the class instance as a parameter, but
it may well be that you could move the subject of the call to a method
of the object.

Every repartition of meaning/content that helps describe better your
problem in terms of object orientation is welcome, in the sense that
things eventually work more lightly / more efficiently.
