If your deck is an 8 none of mine break 6. And if true CEDH players are rating your deck as an 8 then I would guess that makes it a CEDH 8. Which is 10+ on the casual scale

I’d say that isn’t power rating 8.
Just because you’re missing a few CEDH staples doesn’t mean it isn’t CEDH. Budget CEDH decks exist that avoid expensive cards (meaning all the mana rocks, most of the lands, and Dockside). You’re definitely CEDH just low tier CEDH. So on the CEDH scale I’d guess your a 5/10. I have a CEDH deck that can win turn one without any of the free mana rocks, any counter spells, or ad naus. It’s a rakdos deck with a singular counter spell that only counters counter spells.

As someone who plays magic here is some feedback:
Your deck is closer to C-EDH than not. Thoracle with demonic consultation is THE example combo for it. Adding in more than about four tutors REALLY sets you up as CEDH. For a casual game you can still have the combo in your deck just don’t use it so early. Also trying to say everyone should have interaction by turn three just doesn’t make sense. Some decks don’t even come online until they have all five colors out (usually turn 3 or 4 is the mark for that).
The players you were up against also need to grow the hell up. It’s a game. They can be bitter but it should be over that night. Them bringing it up almost a week later is SHITTY.
My sage wisdom is build the deck you want (put Wheel of Fortune and Thoracle back in) and just remember to have your rule 0 conversation before the game. Ask how hard they’re playing, what turn they can win on, and their opinion on infinites. That will save you heartache; if they say they’re playing hard and really good then pull out this deck, if they say they’re playing battle cruiser magic then pick a slower deck. It’s why I always bring like 5 decks to my LGS

I’d actually appreciate that.
