not compatible with 8.0 migration tools

So I’m updating my WP blog and my site (Dreamhost) uses some tools to determine compatibility with updated PHP versions as a safe way to migrate. I updated everything on my WP site to the latest and greatest with no issues at all (including Duplicator, yes).

However, it failed to migrate from 7.4 to 8.0 and after some pinpointing, plugin deletions etc, I got this:

$ wp php-compat –php_version=8.0
+————————–+——–+———+———–+———-+——-+
| name | type | compat | version | time | files |
+————————–+——–+———+———–+———-+——-+
| wordpress | core | success | 6.2.2 | cached | |
| classic-editor | plugin | success | 1.6.3 | 0.53s | 1 |
| disable-xml-rpc-pingback | plugin | success | 1.2.2 | 0.27s | 1 |
| duplicator | plugin | failure | 1.5.5 | 14.05s | 652 |

[…]

Technically this is not a huge obstacle. I can simply delete the plugin, update to 8.0, but now I’m wondering if it will work when I reinstall Duplicator.

I’ve been using this plugin for years and it has saved my bacon a number of times, so I’m hoping this is a transient issue. But I wanted to bring this to your attention, b/c anyone using these tools, including providers like Dreamhost, etc, are going to run into trouble here.
