There seems to be a broad consensus that matrix metering is good when you need to shoot quickly but that it is unpredictable and doesn't allow the photog to take charge of what's going on. Center-weighted metering, on the other hand, is predictable and can be used to control the exposure depending on the photog's preferences. (This applies, of course, to selective metering as well but I was never in doubt about that). I know the long-term answer to my question is to gain practical experience, which no amount of reading or Q&A activity can replace. Therefore, I will go and take some more pictures. However, up to now, I must say that I've never been disappointed by the results from either the R8 or my previous R7, except for the times when I made a mistake, which can happen with any camera.
