Depends on your client. Currently my company only supports IE9+. I personally only support IE10+, though I'll still throw on a shiv or use modernizer, but I'm not going out of my way. This hasn't cost any business. IE8's stickiness is largely from older business machines or China. For client facing sites in the U.S./E.U., imo the support isn't warranted unless you can point out through analytics that it would alienate a big portion of your audience.
