To add: I forgot that virt-manager snapshot functionality already didn't
work in RHEL 7, because of upstream support changes and underlying
libvirt complications.  While it is possible to manage snapshots
directly with libvirt (via the virsh CLI tool), it's a little
complicated to do and the layered tools don't support it (at least not
yet).

AFAIK, this isn't anything new with RHEL 8, it's just documented now.
