Research direction
Start with the linked CI run and inspect the failures in ext/mysqli/tests/mysqli_character_set.phpt, mysqli_options.phpt, and mysqli_set_charset.phpt. Compare their behavior with MySQL 8.0 and determine the required compatibility change; done means these tests work with utf8mb3 and MySQL 8.0.
