I've never been a fan if ID7 Live Cockpit Pro. The actual display is dark and not as vibrant as other manufacturer LCD displays and I have never liked the boomerang gauges. ID8 looks to have the similar counterintuitive gauges but I hope that it has other options unlike ID7 that lacks much in the way of customizability as you are stuck with a single view unless you have an M car where you get the other option that is better but still not the best. At least from what I've seen the ID8 LCD is brighter and more vibrant which to me is an improvement. I have no issue with the MB copycat screen setup as IMO it looks great in the E-class.
