I have a solution with a bit fields. Now your bool is 1 byte :

struct Flags {
    bool flag0 : 1;
    bool flag1 : 1;
    bool flag2 : 1;
    bool flag3 : 1;
    bool flag4 : 1;
    bool flag5 : 1;
    bool flag6 : 1;
    bool flag7 : 1;
};

Or for example:

struct Flags {
    bool flag0 : 1;
    bool flag1 : 1:
    int x_cord : 3;
    int y_cord : 3;
};

I watched a YouTube video where a dev was optimizing unity code to match the size of data that is sent to the cpu using structs just like this.
