Yes. But does it work?

It is my understanding that:

javac --release 8 ...

is really a short version of:

javac -source 1.8 -target 1.8 -Xbootclasspath:pathtojava8jar ...

And if that is correct then it still need the old jar files
to build against.

And maybe it just don't find jfxrt.jar automatically.
