We are deploying a UCS 5108 with 8 blades. We are going to boot from SAN. I already have to HBA's configured on the service profile. Do I need to add additional HBA's to the service profile for the datastore when ESX is installed?

No, 2 vHABs are all you need. You would add more if you needed to connect to another SAN fabric or if your SAN had lots of front-end ports (VMAX) and you wanted to dedicated ports to a specific app/server
