And of course, wall-breakers are a HUGE help when dealing with walls beyond the first layer or two...
(No, not really.)
To the OP: Grind your skulls. You'll be glad you did.

yes you should do skull walls once you get at th9 it will only get harder to upgrade walls because of less loot so max out your th8 no reason to go to th9 until its done
Yes do them at th8. I was impatient myself and had to do most of em at th9 and i regret it. Its doable at th9 but significantly easier at th8
You should max everything at each TH level, including walls. At TH8 not only are the skulls great looking, but they help your defense a great deal. Plus they intimidate some attackers from even attempting to breach your base.
When you begin the wall grind, the amount always seems impossible. Once you begin you learn that it's not too hard after all. 500k seems like a lot, but soon you'll be dumping it like a pro. At TH9, I thought 1m for a wall was crazy, but now it's not too horrible.
Do it... its so worth it!
Well, I'd recommend it but don't keep it too high on your priorities list. If you have your buildings and/or your upgrades done, then I wouldn't stay behind for skulls since the things at TH 9 should make up for it. But if you still have things to do with your resources, upgrade em.
But make sure they're all purple, at least.
