Long story short, my 8lb brisket flat got done in lightning speed.. The thing is, eating time isn't for another 3 hours.. Is there any reason I can't wrap this in foil and let it sit, the way we do with pork butts?

Can a brisket rest in foil/cooler like pork butt?

That is what you are supposed to have done already.
Seriously, yes, it can be wrapped and coolered just the same, a lot of us do that all the time.

Get the cooler packed up good with towels and wait patiently.

Knows what a fatty is.
Absolutely, some of my best briskets were held in a cooler for over 5 hours.

They don't always stall, especially at higher heats, then again, they stall like a a bad boy at other times.

I sit mine wrapped in the butcher paper I cook it in on the counter and it will slowly drop in temp over 2-3 hrs it will be 140-150. A cooler IMO unless you vent it well for 40 min or so will over cook it.

I put my brisket in a warming blanket until ready to serve. Seems to work well for me.

It's a good idea to let it cool a bit (IT below 180)before coolering it, otherwise you are just going to keep cooking it
