I hope close to Sep we have a thread to share the sub between 8 players.

That's not what it means.

A Switch console can have up to eight different users. If someone purchases the $20 subscription, only the user who paid the subscription can access online multiplayer and the rest of the features, including the NES games. If someone purchases the $35 subscription, then all users who are registered on the one specific Switch console can access everything. So regardless of the chosen subscription, it's tied to a single Switch console.

Actually you are mistaken on this topic.

This was taken from the FAQ section:

How do I create a family group?

Starting May 15, 2018, it will be possible to create a Nintendo Account Family Group via your Nintendo Account settings. Up to eight Nintendo Accounts (including child accounts) can be linked as a family group.

 

We still need to see how this family group can be created and/or managed, but in theory up to 8 different Nintendo accounts can be linked to this group.And since it was specified in another FAQ that one single user can own several Switch systems and the memebership is tied to the account itself, and not the system, Nintendo cant differenciate between actual family members that use only one Switch system but have 8 different user accounts(and thus Nintendo accounts), or just a group of friends that have 8 different Switch systems(and thus 8 different Nintendo accounts) and shares one single family group.

Edit:Im adding a link here because the formating of the FAQ part is messed up.You can check by yourself there:

And here is the another FAQ that says you can have the membership acess across multiple systems if you have the account that was used to buy that said membership:

If I own multiple Nintendo Switch systems, will I need a separate membership for each one?

No. Nintendo Switch Online can be used on any device by signing in with the Nintendo Account that purchased the membership.
