I went from 8.0.6 to 8.1.5 on two machines. In both cases merely installing 8.1.5 in a separate home and then running the upgrade scripts on the database and updating the init.ora files to remove obsolete parameters. No problems were encounted except a very minor 8i syntax change re: MTS.
I've also done some clean installs and db builds and no problems occurred.
EVERYTHING is faster under 8i, so far as I can tell. Large batch jobs in particular have seem dramatic improvements without changing a line of already-optimized 8.0 programs.
