You can't.

Sunshine is the only way.

I actually unlocked mine without Sunshine. Some cellphone repair in our place has this thing called XTC2clip that unlocked mine,hopefully you could find someone with that. I'm from the Philippines

The device itself costs $100 US, or you have to find a repair shop which is going to charge you a fee, anyway. So yes, technically there is another way (this looks similar or same as javacard, which is known about) but not one that really adds any value (or is free). Most folks are looking for a free "hack" or to make firewater work, and neither of those are going to happen.

Most things can be done without s-off. Why pay $25 for nothing?

would it be worth it to be able to update the radios on the M8?

You can update radio with s-on by flashing RUU (if you version has it) or signed firmware; or simply installing OTA update. You would only need s-off, if you intend to flash another versions (different CID) firmware, radio baseband, or RUU; or "downgrade" to an older RUU, firmware for your version.
