I'm only playing PUBG mobile which is a poorly optimized game for the exynos imo but i'll give you my experiences anyway.
I feel gaming on Oreo is noticeably smoother than Nougat, i encounter less stuttering, frame drops, etc... since i updated to Oreo.
ROM
Latest Devbase v5.8
Game mode
I dont touch performance settings since i set hw performance in game tuner to +3 already
Game Launcher/Game Tools
The game launcher only groups everygame on your device to a folder and it has nothing to do with performance. So enabling or disabling it base on ur personal preferences
Game Tuner
It actually makes a noticeable difference in performance in graphics intensive games if you set it to +3 or +4, but on casual, less demanding games just set it to -2 or turn it off completely
Gov,io
Just leave them at their stock settings which is interactive and cfq and you will be fine
Additional tips
Personaly i lower my resolution in both game tuner and in display setting to achieve a more consistent frame rate
