I bit the bullet and went through all 100-odd guitar music
publications I've
collected over the years, from publishers around the world on
every continent,
across multiple genres (although admittedly mostly classical and South
American). The set includes many volumes whose purpose is purely
didactic. And yet I was only able to find three books that use
this notation.
So I suspect that "standard" isn't exactly the right word to use
here. :-)
It's probably better to say that it's the "correct" way of guitar
notation -- one
that is satisfying from a theoretician's standpoint, but rarely
used in practice.
I have two guitar publications using this notation (treble clef with
explicit 8 at the bottom).
Frankly, the absence of this mark in many of the scores annoys me very
much. Nobody gets hurt by this tiny 8, and its presence clarifies
things. In my opinion we should support it, there's no point in
sticking to a wrong habit :)
Guitar scores I have (about a metre of shelf space) seem to be split
about half and half between those showing the 8 under the clef and those
without it.
