Can you link a datasheet? The problem with 8s8s8s is that it needs
mode switching which can be footgun. And IMHO it doesn't provide
significant performance improvements over 1s8s8s.

Yes please. Also, I've seen that you use flags in the flash_info table.
Please have a look if that information can be deduced from the SFDP. 
E.g.
does a flash describe if it supports 1s1s8s.
