Yes, it is possible for the Quick Release to reduce the torque of the Wheel Base to 8Nm when using a QR1Lite or QR2 Lite system.
Additionally, there are some steering wheels (e.g., CSL P1 Wheel Series, CSL BMW Steering Wheel) which are inherently designed and rated for up to 8Nm only.

When using these Wheel-Side Quick Release systems (QR1 Lite Wheel-Side, QR2 Lite Wheel-Side) OR the mentioned steering wheels, the maximum torque output of the Wheel Base will be limited to 8Nm.
