>Does any other first move besides Kf6 still lead to forced mate in only 8?

Yes, Be6. Yace also finds Kf6. If I disable this move:

   6332291  42.685  Mat24 13.  1. Be6 h6+ 2. Kf6 Kh7 3. Nf4 h5 4. Nxh5 {EGTB}
                               4...Kh8 5. Nf4! Kh7 6. Ng6! Kh6 7. Bg8! Kh5 8.
                               Ne5! Kh4! 9. Bd5 Kh5 10. Be4! Kh6! 11. Ng4+ Kh5
                               12. Kf5! Kh4 13. Kf4! Kh5! 14. Bf5 Kh4 15. Bg6!
                               Kh3 16. Ne3! Kh4! 17. Ng2+ Kh3 18. Kf3! Kh2 19.
                               Nf4 Kh1 20. Bd3 Kh2 21. Kf2! Kh1 22. Kg3! Kg1
                               23. Nh3+! Kh1 24. Be4#! {690}
   8123272  51.045  Mat08 14t  1. Be6 h6+ 2. Kf6 Kh7 3. Bf7 Kh8 4. Ke7 Kh7 5.
                               Kf8 Kh8 6. Nf4 Kh7 7. Bg8+ Kh8 8. Ng6# {610}

And doesn't change anymore for some minutes.
