According to the comments section, users have been able to sideload them without issues. Play Store has since begun allowing the installs.

Google has lifted the block it placed on the ability for users to freely install benchmarking apps on its Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones. The block had been in place during the review embargo period but extended past the on sale period where customers purchasing the devices couldn’t install benchmarks on their new Pixels either.
I’m not seeing updated versions of the listings on my end (in terms of the last updated entry). Unless compatibility can be set separately?

I imagine it could. It would be strange need to upload a “new version” of the app, when nothing actually changed accept approving a new OS for that version. Then you need to track which version numbers are real changes, and which aren’t. That would be weird.
