All, Not sure how representative this is, but, at least one of the organizations I work for, a large European bank, still relies on Java 8 for all their production deployments. Although this is something they will eventually do, migrating to a newer version of Java is not something they can easily do and will take them years. So, if the Java 8 support is dropped, they'll have to renounce porting their application to Pekko and stick to Akka 2.6.
