I am over 8k miles on my 2023 Bronco Badlands. I have not received any maintenance alerts. Did an oil change over 5k to be safe . Has anyone else had any issues with this?

There are maintenance reminder lights? What do they look like?
I don't know for sure either way, that's why I asked. Nothing came up on my google search besides the service light for when something is wrong. Just wondering what you were thinking would pop up?

They can be found in your gauge cluster. Whoever did the oil change probably reset it which is a common practice.

Engine Oil Life
The message center provides messages to inform the driver about the engine oil life status, engine oil life reset status and when an engine oil change is required. The duration of the interval between engine oil changes is calculated in the PCM and varies due to driving conditions. The PCM assumes a base mileage of 16,090 km (10,000 mi) or 1 year for normal driving. However, this number is adjusted down for conditions such as high engine temperature, high engine rpm, use of flex fuel and possibly low engine oil level. The PCM calculates and provides the engine oil life percent message to the IPC . The IPC further converts the remaining engine oil life using the driver's configured engine oil life start value and displays the engine oil life percentage, indicating the remaining engine oil life. The engine oil change minder can be reset at any time by the driver.

Yes. It exists. If your vehicle considers your driving as "normal", then it will tell you to change your oil at 10,000 miles or one year. Whichever comes first. So, it may or may not have been reset when your oil was changed.
Gotcha, I've never waited long enough for that to pop up, and i double check that it was reset whenever I get an oil change. I use FordPass to monitor and do it at 1/3 left. Don;t think there are any others that pop up for routine maintenance, at least non that ive heard/seen about
