I use an MSI RTX 4080 Gaming X TRIO ( It's a chonker of a card )  and I dont use the support bracket, I haven't noticed any GPU sag since installation in November.  The card is thick so it has 3 screws at the back holding it firmly to the case. Looking at it now its completely straight.

A little bit of GPU sag is not dangerous in any way. Check this out, PC components are tougher than you think   No worries with your 4080, it will be completely fine if the back screws are tightened well.
