Sorry for the slow response.

We are using 3.0.8 on 2023.02.x. Is the delta between 3.0.8 and 3.0.9 so
big that it makes sense to add this patch rather than just bumping to
3.0.9 - Especially given that 3.0.10 contained another security fix?

Looking at the 3.0.9 release notes, it seems to be almost entirely
fixes:
