Thanks Jim. I dowloaded the latest version of the JDBC drivers and installed them on the affected sites. So far, there were no error reported in the last12 hours. Hope it works!
Thanks again.

Something is creating transactions in a read-only mode, though it's
not clear why that would change from 7.4 to 8.0 (or were you using
something even older?) I suspect it's an abstraction layer trying to
be cute and getting things wrong, but that's just a guess. Turning on
query logging should provide insight.
