As far as I can tell, all of our targets have a packaged version ( https://pkgs.org/search/?q=libbluray ) of the current 1.3.4 release.  EL8 was previously mentioned as not having an official package, but EL9 does.

The issue is the -devel packages are "problematic" for EL8
(i.e. not available in a way that works well).

Technically EL8 is probably no longer officially supported
by the project, but neither are a number of other distros
still in the buildbot network (such as Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and EL8 and debian bullseye and
freebsd 13).  Having those distros in the buildbot network
is sometimes useful (as some of the users choose to
rarely upgrade their base, and a new commit causes the
compile to fail the developers can make some choices
as to how to proceed), but the project can obviously
also choose to prune the buildbot network (which would
be the necessary first step).
