Unfortunately, it does matter that RHEL8's version of libxcrypt lacks
yescrypt support. Currently, John the Ripper only supports yescrypt via
the underlying system's crypt(3) or crypt_r(3) functions.

Right, but the rest of John the Ripper jumbo tree currently only uses
that code to provide scrypt, not yescrypt.

Right. We should indeed improve our code. We have an open issue here:
https://github.com/openwall/john/issues/4621
For now, you need a system with newer libxcrypt, such as RHEL9 (or its
rebuilds), Fedora 29+, Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+.
