I've been pouring through all of my PFS scenarios, and I haven't found one yet that goes over 8th-level.
This is truly disappointing as I've just finished building out a potential character concept to 20, and it doesn't really become fully realized until level 10 or so.
Have I missed anything? Does PFS 2e only go to 8th-level? If not, how high does it go? If so, what are our options once we reach the level cap within the PFS scenarios?

I suspect that's not a wise choice for PFS play, there's vastly more lower level play than higher level play.
For a variety of reasons there basically needs to be a pyramid of lower level scenarios to support higher level ones and there just aren't enough scenarios yet.
That said the following current scenarios allow play above level 8
2-22
2-24
3-15
3-19
4-06
As for things to do:
All of the PF2 Adventure Paths do give you a levels worth of PFS credit to a character of your choice every time you complete a book (or equivalent). Not PFS play but does still punch your PFS xp punch card.

No! Happily the Org Play team have said they can foresee play all the way to 20th level as a possibility in time.
The levels of scenarios typically increase over the years of the campaign, as time goes on and more players have characters that reach the levels where the community can easily support scenarios of 10+ we'll see them being published more often. It took both Pathfinder 1 and Starfinder Society a number of years to get to that stage, whilst a few people may race ahead and cap out characters we need a solid pool of players to reach there before the scenarios can represent that and be useful to a large enough pool of the player base to make publishing more and more of them viable, since there is only a limited number of scenarios published each year.

Tons of options! I have a Level 11, a Level 10, a Level 9, two Level 8s, and a ton of lower levels.
And I've been taking a break this semester ^_^
If you're planning on building something that doesn't function until 10th, make that your GM Blob. My Magus started at 7th Level that way.

That being said, a character that comes online at lvl 10 and is planned to lvl 20 would probably be best played in something like Fists of the Ruby Phoenix AP that starts at 11. Since majority of society content is currently for levels 1-8 with a few scenarios going up to 10 or above, I would recommend planning society characters in a way that makes them work (or be fun to play) starting at level 2 or 3 latest.

Sounds good!

Wait, you mean I can get credit for all the PF 2e Adventure Paths I've done so far, even if not for PFS?
Would I still get double credit for those I GMed for? I've hosted most of Extinction Curse multiple times and have been playing through Agents of Edgewatch for over a year already.

Good News- You can get chronicles once for playing and once for GMing, yes. You could report GMing runs after the first to count towards your GM table count.
Bad News- Because some themes in Agents of Edgewatch are iffy at best for games likely to be run in public settings, that particular AP (and Blood Lords) are not sanctioned.
