I echo the same sentiments. Last month, I was flying in on 703 and was through cbp in less than 5 mins. However I wasn’t curbside and able to get a cab for another 90(!!) minutes due to the atrocious baggage situation at T8. And even though my bags were tagged priority, they were the last ones to come out. The first bags also took nearly 45 mins to come out. So be aware. Also, QR have been using gate 47 which is the only widebody gate in the satellite concourse of t8, which means you’ll have quite a bit of a hike from gate to immigration
