Tables 11.26 and 11.27 on page 298 in BJA (2nd) should put the comments on p. 21 and 22 in context, particularly when compared to some of the other tables in that chapter. So yes, imo, play-all for the 8 decks is not advisable. I'll leave the question of your betting strategy to those more familiar with your specific system than I am.

In order to come up with a betting strategy, we'd need to know your bankroll, risk tolerance, spread and back-counting strategy.
For example with $10K you might try $50@-4, $100@+2, $150@+5, $200@+11 (a 1-4 spread) for a win rate of $25 per 100 hands and a 10% ROR.
Balanced counts (like Hi-Lo) are usually preferable to unbalanced counts (like KO) for back-counting because they are better at detecting advantage early on and because you can start counting mid-shoe.

I don't recommend "play all" to any one for any game. Every human being has to go to the bathroom eventually - if you find yourself in a bad negative count, just "excuse yourself" until the next shuffle.
