In general, AWS RDS does not set shared_buffers in a manner similar to the community version. From the AWS documentation, the recommendation is to set it at 75% of the  instance’s memory size. So, does the 8Gb that you’re requesting match the 75% recommendation? And if I’m not mistaken about this, you could use the database parameter group to set this to the 8Gb  level without using any sort of calculation.
