8 is what happens when you have a checklist of things that need to be bigger and badder and you have run through the list 4 or 5 times over the course of the series. It can be fun to watch but there are going to be moments when you remember half of this group began as street racers before becoming this top level government strike squad. Hobbs enters the series halfway through as a man strong enough to go toe to toe with Dom and a few movies later he is throwing 3 men at a time across the hall. Tej started the series as a car tuner and is now an elite level hacker and weapons builder. Hell even Roman Pierce got a moment where he became a stone cold quick draw shooter. I think Letty had the most realistic of the fight scenes relatively speaking since she had a bit of a struggle.

If you want to say the series never made any sense I would argue there are levels to what makes sense in a movie compared to real life and that the suspension of disbelief required to watch the first one compared to Fate is just miles apart. Eventually the audience slides from being entertained by the spectacle into thinking something is just too absurd.
