This is a simple test run conducted by borrowing a Xezat to see if collecting 8 elements is a feasible.

I must admit that I probably should have picked an even more durable boss, because one Yda LD drained around 30% of their HP and none of the Xezat can be shown in the remainder of Yda's BT phase lmao. At the very least, you get to witness what a base 500K Yda can do with her LD at x1.4 her usual dmg potential.
If the boss still had HP left, Snap Punch+ would do just as much (110m) as her LD, as they are both 12 dump attacks. It is just that Snap Punch+ is ST, but you get to do it twice in this case. I tried to LD before BT phase for a 3rd Snap Punch+, but as turn order would have it, it was sternly denied.

The Assembly of 8 Elements:
Here is the break down of it:
Alisaie LDCA: Fire/Thunder/Wind/Earth
Enna Kros BT: Light/Dark
Kurasame LDCA: Ice
Rydia CA: Water (6T buff on individual)

Universal Imperils are already in place due to Xezat BT. Since Yda is a non-elemental attacker, she would always hit all 8 weakness without conlict as long as all of the CAs and Rydia buff is still active.

Xezat provides 5% per elemental weakness, therefore with all elements, Yda has the 40% cap with her additional HP dmg. Yda is dealing HP dmg at 500K (as evident that her normal dmg portion is at 4995000 at 999%), putting her additional HP dmg at 40% would be around 2m. Effectively speaking, Yda is very close to 700K per dump.

No 600K Yda this time
Unfortunately, without tools like summon blessing, U6 and with Xezat merely buffing the party with 30% cap up from his BT and no further HA party cap buffs (note that Yda FR has the same 50% cap up as Xezat's FR), it is very hard to send Yda to 600K base dump line. She would be at 840K per dump if that happens.
On top of that you need to consider the dynamics between using summon and CA durations. Even if that is possible, you only get to enjoy that short burst of insane dmg within 2-3 turns.

Launching
Keiss is used because of his ability to put the launch buff onto someone else even if he gets subbed out. If you have a Xezat partner, then launching can only be done via Pandemonium summon or a character that innately can launch. Since Alisaie CA alone takes care of 4 elements and it has to be attached to the subject, it is very hard to find the chance to use Cid Raines LDCA for launches, even should the subject be someone that can enchant him/herself without skills being built-in elemental.

These are some of the notable things I came across after trying to build a 8 element "team". It is doable, but there are a lot of intricate things to consider and it is not very flexible. The result is great, but I guess being content with 5-7 elements is not a bad idea and makes it more applicable to more situations and parties.

I am happy to see Yda being ridiculous nonetheless. When Papalymo comes along with his additional HP dmg debuff, it can probably be pushed a little bit further.
