So if I want the system "ls" command to output "été-2008.jpg" and not something weird, I have to use one of the 8-bit locales. Currently my LANG is fr_FR.ISO8859-15 (same as Latin-1 plus the €uro sign).

To get proper ls output with utf-8 filename you have to:
- ensure the filename is in utf-8
- ensure shell locale is set to utf-8
- ensure terminal locale is set to utf-8

One incorrect locale in the chain and you will get broken result.

Additionally, being able to see "été-2008.jpg" using LANG other than
UTF-8 means that the filename is not stored in UTF-8, shell locale is
not in UTF-8, and terminal locale is not in UTF-8.

In which setting ONLY shell locale to UTF-8 won't help at all. After
setting terminal and shell locale to UTF-8 you must rename the file to
UTF-8.
