So my question is will I tie ALL 8 wires into a single wire nut?
Run the 3 light conduits and a conduit from the transformer into the junction box.
Connect the 3 light wires and the transformer wire together using a wire nut or Wago Gel Box.

You don't tie 8 wires together.
You have two sets of 4 wires to be wire nutted together to complete a circuit.
Your question shows a lack of electrical knowledge that can be dangerous.
What are the additional two wires?
What is the exact transformer model number?
What is the wattage rating?
What is the model number for the lights?
What is the wattage per light?
Do you want to control the lights separately?
The additional 2 wires are the ones that I'll have to tie into the transformer

I thought they were controlled separately through the Omni app. If it's a huge challenge to control independently that I'm okay with all the lights being controlled together
The Hayward® 300 Watt Pool Transformer LTBUY11300 is a low voltage transformer for use with pool and spa lights and submersible fixtures.
It can be used to power up to four Hayward Universal ColorLogic® and CrystaLogicTM LED lights and offers a dedicated mounting location for the Coupler LKBUN1000 (necessary when using a powerline networking connection from a Hayward Pro Logic® controller).
The LTBUY11300 has 3 output options, 12v, 13v and 14v.
Wiring to Networked Hayward Universal ColorLogic Lights.
If networked communications between a Hayward Pro Logic controller and Universal ColorLogic
light(s) will be employed, a Hayward Coupler must first be installed into the LTBUY11300.
Refer to the Coupler LKBUN1000 manual for detailed installation instructions.
On the input side, the LKBUN1000’s black and white wires are connected in parallel with the 120VAC input wires and the blue (14V) tap and black wires from the primary side of the transformer.
On the output side, the LKBUN1000’s orange wires are connected in parallel with the black transformer wires and the yellow leads from the Universal ColorLogic pool light(s).

Hayward has multiple models of Colorlogic 320 lights. Do you have Networked lights or switched?
They are not networked based on the dimensions, I should add that I do have an OmniPL for automation if that makes a difference.

To control lights independently they each need to be connected to its own transformer.
Basically it is the transformer and all lights connected to it that are controlled together by the OmniPL.
