First off, simple answer, you are fine.
Longer answer ... all users should always be using the very latest
Subclipse and SVN client unless there is a really, really good reason.
Usually that only means you need to share a working copy with some other
tool you cannot upgrade.
All SVN client versions can talk to all SVN server versions. So even if
you server was running SVN 1.0, you should still be using the latest
version of the client.
When Subclipse mentions SVN 1.8, it is saying that is the version of the
client API you are using. The only real significance of this is if you
want to use other SVN clients on the same working copy. For example, maybe
you also use TortoiseSVN on Windows or you want to also use the SVN command
line client. The local SVN working copy has a specific "format" assigned
to it and this is not compatible across all client versions. So it is a
good idea to keep all your clients upgraded to the same version.
The vast majority of SVN fixes and features are purely in the client. So
upgrading the client has lots of benefits.
