Considering a red iPhone 8. I already have xr on 12 jail broken but wouldn’t mind another device to do updated iOS on
 
Thanks

tempted to get one because the A11 (and A5 up until that) got a hardware bootrom exploit so the modding scene will get really fun with these devices

but I may hold off for a while / use SE to load iOS 13 if anything possibly...

Depends on the price you can get it for. I love the iPhone 8.
 
Based on what I have seen so far the battery life in iOS 13 is worse compared to the battery life in iOS 12. It seems to drain a lot during at night when I don't use the phone at all. I don't know why.

I usually switch off location and mobile data by default and switch them on only when is necessary. This way it lasts up to 2 days max with average screen time of 90 minutes or at the most 2 hours as a whole. I do not have any phone calls with that phone though. It is a company one and I use it mostly for emails and chats.

I would not expect it to last more than a day (it might be even less) if you use it for phone calls and have mobile data and location services switched on by default.
