My first jointer had springs, my second, jack screws.

With springs, it would take me close to an hour to get the knives set properly after a sharpening. Now it takes me 10-15 minutes, YMMV.

As a hobbyist, I go through that ritual about annually. Personally, I don't enjoy tuning machinery; some folks do.

Assuming flat and coplaner tables -- anything else to look for on an older jointer?

Any know issues with a JJ-8 ?

It looks to have springs vs jack screws. Is that a big deal? My 6" Jet has jack screws.
