This is not the UK based on Brexit or Boris Johnson or anything that entails from them. Will the UK still be in the G8 after Boris Johnson is no longer prime minister? Yes. - Will the UK still be in the G8 long after Boris Johnson is no longer prime minister? Yes. - Will the UK still be in the G8 after Brexit?

I also think you could change those questions to their opposites in an alternate reality, i.e. Jeremy Corbyn and staying in the EU, which is probably why I find your view to be overwrought. There are plenty of states outside of the EU that are in the G8, and though I don't agree with much of what Johnson has done, the likelihood it will transform the UK into a failed state is utterly absurd to me, and clearly, to any majority that counts, whether it is UK voters, those who put money into the UK, and every other nation state.
