That's what everything I've read has said.
They were hemmed in a bit at 8 seasons because that's how long the actors contracts ran, but there was nothing that would've prevented them from doing 8 or even 10 episode seasons.
Hubris or fatigue or whatever the case may be, it was the showrunner's call to give themselves so little runway to work with.
Everything that's gone wrong over the last 2 seasons has been a direct results of Benioff and Weiss.
