R8 helps augment Proguard by providing Android-specific optimizations that can largely simplify Proguard configurations by properly supporting reflection, among other cases (including better resource shrinking).

Note that Bazel's Android toolchain doesn't currently support R8, but hopefully will sometime next year.

I'm not certain on R8 integration, but I believe we're now using D8 after migrating to Bazel 6.x in #4886 so there shouldn't be anything else to do here.

The issue is reopened because of the following unresolved TODOs:

# TODO(#3748): Simplify this once R8 is supported.

Aha, looks like there's one TODO to address first.
