Mari does her best & it's a big action set piece with a glorious Shiro Sagisu score that blows everyones minds. But Unit 08 mostly gets destroyed in the process and then later in the film it's parts are combined with the remains of Unit 02 to create the amalgamation Unit if it's still a thing.

I have a big thing for Rebuild's use of cyborg or otherwise physically deconstructed Evangelions

The complete removal of Eva-08's arms doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Looking at the end of Q, the corrosion in the arms is not only arrested, it's completely gone. They seem a little wounded, but that's it. The armor is the expected color (whereas core-ified stuff turns completely red). If they can rehabilitate the fucked-up corpse of Eva-02 into something usable, then healing wounded arms is nothing. Amputation only makes sense if coreification is viewed as a kind of irreversible necrosis, but there's no indication at the end of Q that this is the case. Plus, they know enough about the process that Asuka immediately ejected Eva-02 prosthetic limb when it started to turn into core (after she inserted the Wunde'rs igniter), so if 08's arms were beyond hope surely they would have just lopped them off immediately and not lovingly bandaged them up.
Even if Eva-08 gets destroyed at the start of the movie (please don't; I like her), I'd like it if the finalized design had the bandaged arms still wrapped over the chest. Thus the protheses would be a slapped-on rig that doesn't come at the expense of perfectly fixable arms; it's just put in use because Wille didn't have the time to fix Eva-08 up.
