Going to production with Solidity 0.8.0 or 0.7.6

Hello! Is it recommended going to production with Solidity latest versions (for example 0.8.0), including the last release of OpenZeppelin? Or would it be better to use a more “stable” version like 0.7.6?
Thanks!

See the following older discussion: Recommended Solidity version for security conscious contracts

Slither now supports up to Solidity 0.7.6.

Solidity 0.8.0 was released in December 2020:
