No LiveCD, no recommendation but I see two options: If you have the 
infra (workstation/build/mock/imagebuilder) you can generate a custom 
spin / LiveCD, or just use a similar Fedora LiveCD to get an idea if you
run in major problems. EL8 has some OS areas better equipped with 
backport etc. then the vanilla Fedora release but for a raw test its 
worth to try a fedora LiveCD - EL8 is "similar to" / "a mix of"  Fedora 
27/28/29 ...

BTW, starting the CentOS8 iso also shows if it boots at all ... :-)
