You can add 3.8 as a target on a specific package by specifying the USE flag 'python_targets_python3_8' for it. If you decide to go that route, I recommend doing that only on a specific package version. You will then be required to keep up with the package if a new version is released that still does not have 3.9 available, but you will automatically be rid of the 3.8 dependency on that package whenever a version is released that can be upgraded to 3.9.
