When Illustrator auto updated to 27.8.1, all my pressure brushes stopped working. Pressure is not available as a brush option.

I use an XP-Pen artist Pro 15.6 tablet on Windows 10

I went through the SOP that I do when this happens - uninstalled and reinstalled multiple versions of the XP-Pen drivers and nothing worked. I think reverted Illustrator back to 27.7 and it works again.

It would be nice if this functionality didn't break regularly when new versions are released. It makes Auto-updating an unrealistic option as I end up wasting time chasing down bugs when I really should be working...
