Re:
Campag 8 & 10 doesn't play perfectly. It largely works, but from the later 9spd onwards, the cable pull is slightly different. It can be made to work, but needs excellent adjustment. Later 9 with an 8sp derailleur is ok, but needs to be adjusted a lot. Will usually "lose" a shift on the way up and a different one on the way down. Perfectly adjusted it works, with 10 is becomes infinitely more finicky. Can be made to work, but usually loses one ratio, and occasionally 2. It's grand if you want to spend lots of time in a warm garage / shed adjusting gears, otherwise, match later 9 (such as Record 9 Ti) with 10spd (may work with 11 as well but not tried it, I've gone back to 9spd on all the bikes.)
Just built a 1980 Carlton Clubman running Campag 3x9 off downtube levers. Works surprisingly well... Of course with pure friction, so long as it can pull all the cable (Nuovo Record levers), it can take an "infinite" number of gears.
If you need an 8spd derailleur, think I have a few in the box...
I ran 8spd ergos with Nuovo Record mech successfully too!
