Since you are talking about 50 Ohms I assume you are talking about a
transmission line. If that is the case you should definitely match the
feedline to antenna at the antenna feed point.

Why is it definite? What is the loss in 50 ft. of LMR-400 at the
frequency of interest when the SWR is 50/8 = 6.25:1?

Any attempt to match the
feedline with a tuner in the shack only turns the whole feedline into
part of the antenna system.

Simply not true if the currents remain differentially balanced.
SWR doesn't cause feedline radiation.
