Other than a reference here to CY2018.. I'm finding it eerily difficult to figure out when (or if) a Weblogic Server release will support Java EE 8?

Java EE 7 Compatibility WebLogic Server 12c (12.2. 1.3. 0) is Java EE 7 compatible. This compatibility allows a Java EE 7 compliant application to be developed on one operating system platform, and deployed for production on another, without requiring Java EE 7 application code changes.
Removal of Java EE and CORBA Modules. In JDK 11, the Java EE and CORBA modules were removed. These modules were deprecated for removal in JDK 9.
Java EE 8—formally, Java Platform Enterprise Edition version 8—is now available. The release represents the first phase in Oracle's two-phase plan to embrace modern computing paradigms, particularly cloud deployments, in enterprise Java.
Oracle WebLogic Server 14.1. 1 is a new major version, adding support for Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (EE) 8 and Java SE 8 and 11. It is supported on-premises and in the cloud, including support and tooling for running Oracle WebLogic Server in containers and Kubernetes and certification on Oracle Cloud.
It seems like there has been some movement at Oracle for a new release lately. In September 2019 they have annouced the "Weblogic Server 14 Beta Programm", since Version 13 will be skipped. Therefore the development of the new version comes to a close. As stated in the post from Oracle, the new release will support Java EE 8 an Jakarta EE 8 as well as Java SE 11.
Still they did not announced a release date, so time will tell how long the beta programm will last.
Edit 03/2020: Oracle has now officially release Weblogic 14 with Java EE 8 Support: https://blogs.oracle.com/weblogicserver/announcing-oracle-weblogic-server-1411
