I recently upgraded my setup with an RTX 3080 and an R9 7950X3D CPU, and I've just got myself the MSI MPG 321URX, which is a 4K OLED monitor. I'm curious if the 3080 can manage 4K gaming effectively or if I should consider upgrading my GPU for a better experience. Any thoughts?

With most games, you'll have to turn down the texture settings from ultra to high and use DLSS Performance, which gives you a nice boost in FPS. You'll be okay for gaming at 4K, but it allows for a smoother experience.
Your 3080 can handle some 4K gaming, but don't expect to max out every modern title smoothly. It's worth giving it a go first; you can always upgrade later if you find it lacking.
Honestly, upgrading could be the way to go. The 3080 is starting to show its age for 4K gaming, especially with the latest titles. It might be better suited for 1440p. If you're looking for a smoother 4K experience, a 3090 or 4080 could be worth considering.
Your 3080 will give decent performance at 4K, but you'll need to adjust settings and might end up playing with lower textures in many games. It's playable but won't be the best experience, especially with more demanding titles.
You might not be thrilled with the framerate at 4K natively. However, if you use DLSS, you should be pretty satisfied. Wait and try it out for a while before deciding to upgrade your GPU.
