Is an 80 gauge overkill on a 28" scale?

.80 sounds about right to me. When using a .74 on my Mushok baritone (27.7 scale) it handles well in F#.

27.7 scale using an 90 in F# is amazing.

no, i think it's alright anywhere between 80-90 is good for people who pick hard. 74 is good if you wanna get that characteristic "Djent" flop and if you use thin picks and pick with minimal force it's perfect.

Another vote for .0084, my strandberg boden 8 original came with this gauge and i love the definition and clarity.

.80 is a great gauge for that scale length- I find it a little too bassy on 27" but it tightens up quite nicely with that extra inch.
