PHP 7.2 (ea-php72) Deprecation warning

BUT THE SCREENSHOT HERE SHOWS WEBSITE VERSION== 7.4: https://disk.yandex.com/i/w1QiAPXhf8_dBg

Q3
My WordPress Current version: 5.9.5 Supports PHP 8.0 and MySQL 5.7.4(Not change the MySQL Version) …???
Is it OK to change PHP from 7.4 to 8.0 and after upgrading WP to 6.1? From https://xyz.com/blog/wp-admin/update-core.php

Does it need to be changed and the DEFAULT Server PHP Version? PHP 7.2 to 8.0… OR ONLY the website PHP version: 7.4 (ea-php74) To 8.0…? only the site PHP version?
