You can open FM7 files/books in FM8 without problem, and you can save
FM8 files/books to FM7 .. so in theory you should be fine. I think that
the only place you'll run into trouble with the FM8 -> FM7 save is if
you're making use of FM8 features. If your files started off as FM7
files, I'd think that it should be OK. However .. YMMV .. to be sure,
grab the trial and give it a test drive.

He put me on hold while he consulted with the Support group. Considering
how big Adobe is, it is certainly possible that there are multiple
Support groups with different information.
Do you know if you can convert a book from Fm7 to FM8, update it, then
save it as FM7 and port it successfully to ePublisher Pro? That would
remove a stopper for me!

The SaveAs dialog includes FM7.0 as an export option, and it seems to
work for me. Did Adobe Support really say that?

The concern goes beyond plugins - my workflow goes from FM7.2 to
ePublisher Pro, but ePub is not FM8-ready and probably won't be in
time for my big October release. According to Adobe Support, FM8 docs
can't be saved as FM7.2 docs, either. That would mean that I cannot
upgrade to
FM8 until I know ePub is ready, or else I change to Mif2Go (which is
FM8-ready.

I've got quite a few plugins for my current version of FrameMaker
(7.1).
Does anyone know if any, most, or all of these will become useless
under FrameMaker 8?
I'm anxious to upgrade to FrameMaker 8, but worry that I'll actually
lose some functionality until the various plugin vendors produce
updates.
