Unless you see the issue cannot predict it for now. See if changing anything causes issues. There may be known issues which were discussed in forum earlier. Try searching with keyword "godaddy" and see if you can gather some information. It all depends on testing and resolving.

Since you are using WB 19.x.x then you should have no issues due to it uses 8.2 this means it is compatible with what GoDaddy is using on its or your server or asking you update to. See the following: PHP version compatibility

There may be PHP 8 issues in WB17 if you use PHP features like login, cms or forms.

If you receive any warnings or errors due to the php version used then it is possible to suppress them till you are able to update the site made with WB17 to WB19. See the example at the following: Error Reporting - PHP Manual

Any error messages are logged to the server's error log usually found in cpanel under file manager.

If php error reporting is enabled, it will be typically on the php_error.log file. The error can also show on the php page where you might be facing the error, and it will echo on the top part if anything goes wrong. Make sure you have configured .htaccess properly
