It depends. Officially, no PHP8 support yet.
For horde master, there are some relevant patches but I think at least 
two critical libraries need heavy development to either fix or replace them:

- Horde_Forms
- Horde_Rpc

Both make use of inheritance in a way PHP 8 will not tolerate.
If you need a quick way to run horde in production, use the containers:

Docker-Compose setups: https://github.com/maintaina/deployments/

Individual containers: https://github.com/maintaina/containers

If you can spare the time, try to run 
https://github.com/maintaina-com/horde-deployment/  in Fedora 35 and 
tell me where it breaks.

Regards

Ralf
