With allowances that deals are often only 4 or 5 cards , do any statistics exist on how often the Banker will receive a sixth and final card in an 8 deck shoe ?

Based on simulation, 31.78% of the hands appear to be six-card hands.

I get 31.7535% (1 in 3.1492575 hands) if you always go from the first six known cards of the shoe.
Specifically, 315,635,031 / 994,016,023.

8 deck, the probability of hand end with 6 cards = 1,587,927,855,264,000/4,998,398,275,503,360 = 0.317687340571933
I think your answer is for 6 deck shoe.

You are correct - it is for a 6-deck shoe.
8 decks reduces to 3018415175 / 9501213267 = 0.31768734057, which matches your number. (Your numerator and denominator share a factor of 28 x 3 x 5 x 137.)
