Hello Robin, I, too, have a new iPhone 8 Plus running the latest version of the OS. However, I am not experiencing the problems discussed in this thread.
I do know, however, that some third-party apps do not play well with VoiceOver via dictation. For example, when I dictate a title into the OverDrive public library app, sometimes the dictated text is read back to me and other times, it is not. Likewise, getting the edit option to appear in the VoiceOver Rotor can be a bit of a challenge in some third-party apps, such as OverDrive. This is why I always use a native iOS app as my baseline when determining if something is a system bug or an app-specific bug. There is a well-known/documented/Apple acknowledged iPhone 8 series system bug that is probably responsible for the sometimes experienced overlap/delay dictation feedback anomaly where VoiceOver appears to dictate itself. Finally, please keep the following in mind. Despite public opinion to the contrary, iOS versions can and do vary across carriers. I assure you that the iOS version that is running on Verizon Wireless devices is not the exact same version that is running on a T & T Wireless devices. Furthermore, yet a slightly different version of the OS is installed on SIM-free devices. Most of the time, these differences are all but impossible to notice but, sometimes, as was the case about 3 years ago with regard to a video display driver, these differences/bugs do show themselves. Just some things to keep in mind as you troubleshoot and assess.

I find that if I insert a space after it makes the I'm out of dictation ding it'll then read it to me. I can then either leave the space or delete it as I wish. I don't like this problem but hate even more when you enter dictation and VoiceOver feels the necessity to recite sometimes a lengthy hint or the like and it ends up trying to dictate itself, oy (smile).
