>If we would be living in a simulation which neglects to take delay in gravity into account we would be experiencing a pull from the direction where the sun will appear in 8.5 minutes. This is actually pretty much what happens. The point that the earth accelerates towards is, to first (second?) order, the predicted point that the sun would be assuming it continued accelerating at its current rate. It is not accelerating towards where the sun was 8 minutes ago, nor where the sun appears now or 8 minutes ago.
