Can I ask if fleece jackets can withstand cold weather between 8-10°c?

Generally speaking, it is probably OK. However, in addition to the individual, I think it also depends on the wind and how long someone is going to be outside.
The body detects relative changes in temperature, so I think it also matters whether we are parachuting in from 35 degrees or withstanding the day/night fluctuations wherever we are.

I’ve found the puffer jacket is usually ok for these temps as well. I was never a fan until I travelled with one… the light weight and compressibility, plus it’s far more versatile than you’d expect. Still don’t totally like the style, but I can live with it.

I agree. And layers work really well to manage temperature changes throughout the day/night. I never really thought about it while growing up in a cold country, it just sort of happened naturally. I typically use a windbreaker as my lightest layer and as an outer layer with a fleece. This combo works well even down to 0°C if staying active.
