Super noob question but will zener diodes work on the baby 8? I’m guessing they won’t be fast enough, is that correct?

It depends on the exact zener, but why would you do that? 1N4148s cost nothing.

Just time waiting for it to be delivered

Don’t know where you’re located but in the US (northeast) my last Mouser order with their cheapest shipping arrived 4 days after I ordered, my current Digi-Key order will arrive 3 or 4 days after ordering (again cheapest shipping), and DHL shipping from Tayda generally takes 3 days after ordering. If you absolutely positively need a Baby 8 before Monday go ahead and breadboard it, but really that’s not what Zeners are for.
