Downloads:
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynote8.html
Instructions:
Odin
Download latest Odin zip from downloads.corsicanu.ro/samsung
Download and install Samsung Drivers (if you have them installed you can skip this step)
Go to settings/Developer options and enable OEM unlock (If you don't see developer settings, go into Settings/About phone/Software info and tap "Build number" 10 times to show Developer options menu)
Download TWRP_*.tar
Switch off the phone
Use Bixby Key+Volume Down+Power to enter Download Mode and connect the device to usb
Open Odin and untick autoreboot in "options" tab. Also make sure that your device is detected
Put TWRP_*.tar.md5 file into AP tab
Click Start
When Odin shows "PASS", take your device in hands, disconnect the usb cable and press simultaneously the "Bixby key" + "Vol. Down" + "Power" buttons until the downoad mode disappears
At the precise moment the screen becomes black, immediately release the "Vol.Down" button and press the "Bixby key" + "Vol. UP" + "Power" buttons during 10 to 15sec to forcefully enter TWRP
If it didn`t worked, redo the steps from #1 more careful this time.
TWRP
Download TWRP_*.img, push it into phone storage, choose install image in your current recovery, navigate to downloaded *.img file, select it, select to flash as recovery.
After booting in TWRP download and flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1 zip to disable data partition encryption
If for any reason you fail to install TWRP multiple times/different methods, make sure you check this thread

A:
Q: Phone is showing only Samsung logo

datafix is for oreo issues where twrp could not properly access internal storage.
format is if you come from stock rom and still have encrypted storage.

After flashing .img (was on 3.2.1.1) I get "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing", only when booting into recovery.
Seems to work fine otherwise.
N950N
Repulsa's ROM.
Is this normal behavior?

im on the same phone and no such issue with new twrp i was on a newer twrp than yours and had formatted and flash dm verty zip initially from stock oreo. dirty flash your rom again just to see. if still no go then follow OP to the T to reflash it correctly.
did you ever flash oreo bootloader? because from what i understand, looks like you were on nougat before and flashed a oreo rom without upgrading fully to stock oreo before hand.

1. I went from stock rom to Repulsa, using SuperSU. No issues.
2. Nougat to Oreo. Could be the issue. I did not update the BL. Don't know if the ROM did. I will check.
Do you happen to have a link to the correct BL?
Thanks for the tips!

i could extract it but u can basically get it from unziping stock.(see link below)
since we are on the n950n, I'm almost sure repulsa rom didnt update it because mostly all roms that might include the BL will have mainly the F/DS bootloader, most dont even update it though.
latest BL would be U3. might be a good idea to update cp(modem) while you are at it too, so grab latest stock firmware and extract both from:
https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-N950N/
if download is slow, i can provide these 2 files in a few minutes because package is so big just to get them smaller files.
so only put bl and cp in odin and at least you will be on the latest stuff. dont know what is taking so long for BL U4 to arrive for our korean n950ns....
edit
latest bl and cp for N950N only:
https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhXVLDDj8g3AgdYhY8DslnHgCVMMEw
i also put samfirm downloader for future reference, its a fast way to get latest firmware. those hosting websites are so slow sometimes... updato.com is a fast one but firmwares arent always up to date though
