Can the Canon R8 work with the Sigma EF-500 DG ST flash? I'm interested in knowing if there are any compatibility issues or limitations.

There maybe incompatibilities no ones what they are until it's used. Canon doesn't tell 3rd Parties how their flash system works.

Can the Sigma EF-500 DG ST flash damage the camera Canon R8?

If the voltage is too high yes.
