UC’s will consider your course rigor so even though your UC GPA is capped with the 8 semesters of honors points, you want to have a rigorous HS course load in comparison to your fellow students. If 10 AP/Honors course is considered rigorous at your HS, then you want to have a similar class profile.
UCLA and UCB do consider the uncapped weighted UC GPA, so having more than 8 semesters of these classes will definitely help your chances.
