So I haven’t run a custom ROM for a long time and I’m thinking of trying out GrapheneOS. Before I do, is there a modern way to take a full disk image of a stock Pixel 8? The intent would be to factory restore to where I am in this moment if need be.

Backups: No. Google does not grant you access to the full disk to make backups anymore (for many years now).
Factory reset: Yes. This will NOT restore your personal data. See https://developers.google.com/android/images for Google’s OS image downloads, and https://grapheneos.org/install/cli#replacing-grapheneos-with-the-stock-os for how to revert from Graphene.
