I think the problem is that the Eight Gates uses up all of the users chakra, even if one activates SoaHT, the chakra release would be seized by the Eight Gates formation as it uses all of the users chakra for the enhancing effects. Anything lower than 8 gates might work though but that is because 7 gates and lower does not force every cell in the body to produce chakra to their maximum, burning them out.
