8-bit can have banding even without "HDR". Definitely not enough. 10 bit HDR video is becoming more common, and popularity for images will follow. Adoption is hampered by the fact that Windows has bad HDR support, but it all works plenty well on macOS and mobile platforms.
unfortunately linux HDR is pretty much completely absent. That said, Wayland slowly looks like it's getting there.
KDE Plasma 6 has HDR support.

X11 supports 10-bit SDR… which Wayland doesn’t
It would be nice if everything was non tone-mapped HDR all the time for software, and the windowing system or the monitor would do the (local) tone mapping.

X11 does but many X11 applications and window managers don't.
