8 degrees is already quite a lot and is noticeable even in smaller rooms. A crooked joint wouldn't bother me in principle, as long as it's visually unobtrusive. But with everything else, you get eye strain.
I once tried to furnish an apartment with a room that had a consistently slanted wall (2 of the 4 corners not 90 degrees). You can't tile it; anything that runs parallel to the wall, if it were straight, just looks bad.
