HX node ESXi version downgrade from VMware ESXi, 8.0.3, 24022510 to 8ESXi 8.0 U1 23299997.

Can someone share us proper step to revert this change?

VMware ESXi will NOT let you "downgrade".

If you want to roll back to the version installed prior to a patch, then sometimes you can "roll back" to the other boot bank.
Basically reboot and spam shift+r. See:

If "roll back" doesn't work, then reinstalling ESXi is required.

Will this work for Hyperflex Nodes as well?

Yes. Hyperflex ESXi nodes can be rolled back using this method.
