BINC
iShares Flexible Income Active ETF
stock NYSE ETF

I'm also retired. I would be careful with all but DIVO and IDVO as the track record of every other covered call strategy ETF isn't good in one way, the NAV not keeping up with inflation. If you look at every CC ETF over the last year, the NAV didn't beat inflation (sans DIVO and IDVO).
The problem with the NAV not keeping up with inflation, is that means the yield may not keep up with inflation as well. So I support DIVO and IDVO (I own both), but I can't support any other CC ETFs.
Other ETFs to consider is PBDC (business development companies ETF), JBBB (CLO ETF), and BINC (multi-sector bond ETF). Actually, a super simple high-dividend portfolio is equal parts PBDC, DIVO, IDVO, JBBB, and BINC (rebalanced yearly).

It's possible, but typically only when you look at history to find those that were previously a success. Picking what will generate a 8% yield in the future without erosion (including inflation) is a lot more challenging. Also, we've had a really good market for the last 15 years (with a few short-lived pull-backs). Most investors shooting for 8% yields were not investing in the 2000's (I've been investing for 38 years).
I would agree that business development companies could be one of the better possibilities (I own PBDC). I don't believe many covered call strategy ETFs will have NAVs that outpace inflation as they're too yield-focused. If you look at the last 12 month price of virtually every CC ETF, they didn't beat inflation (JEPQ was -2.18% for example). The only exceptions are DIVO and IDVO, because they aim for a more sensible and realistic yields (4.5-5.5%). I own DIVO and IDVO.
In my opinion, a really good, simple, high-dividend yielding, and low-volatility portfolio is equal parts PBDC, DIVO, IDVO, JBBB, BINC. In the last 2 years, the yield is 7.83% and beta is 0.44. But, I wouldn't expect that yield to continue long-term.
