Mercifully, g=9.8 everywhere on Earth’s
Big nope. It depends not only on height, but also on density of stuff under ground.

We already have a permanently inhabited base outside Earth (ISS) with effectively zero gravity and there might be one on the Moon or Mars in 100 years. We should pass treaties to only use metric in space – a probe has been lost to unit confusion already.

This is dated 2007. Apparently NASA is already using metric:

I’d say it’s more of a “small yes” than a “big nope.”
While gravity does vary, it goes from about 9.76 to about 9.83.
All of which does, in fact, round to 9.8
