I don't know what you are seeing to say this. The arches which were initially there
were x86_64, ppc64le, s390x and aarch64. I don't know of any arches added after that
and those have been in el8 since day 1.
Actually, no.
RHEL8 has many packages that are not on s390x or aarch64.
This EPEL ticket has been open for a while and lists them all, at
least for RHEL 8.0

If you hit one of these packages, then you need to start putting
ExclusiveArch statements in your spec files.
