Probably 80% compared to 50% before, which is great as I have confidence when time is short to put in a few attacks without having to hide behind a shield all the time. I've put some decorations around the TH just to make clear there are no hidden teslas or other nasties. Very few ever take the TH and go onto to attack the base.
When I do get attacked, alot of the time it depends on attacking power. Only folk with L6 attackers ever get anywhere - these rest are easily coped with in the funnels. L6's can cause damage, usually through that southern compartment or from the eastern side but they only tend to get anywhere if they have high level heroes to support. No TH8 base is going to stand up to L6 troops with heroes at 15+ but I still haven't been 3 starred. Even thought they often do alot of damage they don't get all my resources - usually there is at least 2 storages and/or the DE left untouched. Virtually everything that works is with L6 giants/wizards - rarely see healers and BARCH never seems to get into the core.
Highly recommend as a farming base still.
A couple of times I've brought the TH in for trophy protection and the base doesn't seem to perform as well although as I said not been 3 starred. I suspect alot skip it but it just takes someone with the right high level troops to march through it.
I also used your war base for the first time last week with great success. Firstly it was left until the last hour before being touched. It defeated a TH9 player 4 places above me, holding out to 36% 0 stars with a dragon attack (not particularly well executed). It was then taken by a TH10 dropping about 12 places and with the above attack for guidance. He got 2 stars and 85% using GOWIPE. I think that is an excellent result and looking forward to testing again in the next war.
