Agreed: The M8 is *much* better than the LAV75: but in the 80's, the LAV was what we had when we was playing around with how to equip an Armoured Cavalry unit.
Honestly, with the scenario that TW2K (V1 or V2), I don't see the M8 ever being developed. I feel with the Cold War staying on the front burner, they would have gone with the horse they had: the LAV75.
Now I don't know anything about TWv3, but I would hazard a guess the M8 could easily be pushed into service.
