XF 1.5 Is xenForo 1.5 compatible with MySQL 8?

[Myke623]

Bit of a strange request, I know, but I'm preparing to migrate some old addons and was wondering if xenForo 1.5.x is compatible with MySQL 8.0?

Yes, looks like we were improving compatibility as early as 1.5.22:

It not only works well with MySQL 8, it also works well with MariaDB 11.

I can confirm that XF 1.5.24 works perfectly well with MySQL 8.0.35 - I'm running this combination on my two largest sites.
