It should be possible.. assuming both of their iOS versions are up to date.. or at least the version of the iPhone 7 Plus.

For example, if the iPhone 8 Plus was on iOS 15 and the iPhone 7 Plus was still on iOS 14.. that would not work to restore a backup from the 8 to the 7. the iPhone 7 Plus would need to be updated to at least the version of the iPhone 8 Plus.
