This is not the case. Upgrades to Data ONTAP 8.0 can be performed non-disruptively from 7.3 releases. If you have not yet upgraded to a 7.3 release you will need to follow the guidelines to non-disruptively upgrade to the latest 7.3 release before upgrading to 8.0.

DOT 8.0 is supposedly bringing WAFL improvements to allow for 100TB aggrs/vols (rumored to be dropping this summer).
I also hear jumping any 7.x variant to 8.0 will be a disruptive upgrade.
Cheers.
