Basically the rest of the answer is redundant now, as 2.80 shows the same crease behavior as 2.79 since the bug was fixed. Automated builds will be updated starting from 24. 01. 2019.
Old answer
This is a bug still in the beta of Blender 2.8. The switch to OpenSubdiv could have caused the problem, but on the other hand, nightly builds of Blender 2.79 can also use the OpenSubdiv implementation in the SubSurf modifier, and don't show the described behavior / look. There are two bug reports available currently, see https://developer.blender.org/T58410 and https://developer.blender.org/T58994 - the latter one also providing a solution.
Potential Solutions until a fix appears
One option is to set the crease values to 0.9999 instead of 1.0. To do that, go to Edit Mode, select one creased edge, and press Shift + G. In the Upcoming Select Similar menu, choose Crease
. This will select all edges you creased. Now, in the Properties Panel (N - Key), type in 0.9999
to the Mean Crease
field:

A second option is the new modifier that was introduced in Blender 2.80, which allows for nice control over normals on more difficult geometry elements. A use case are extruded and beveled text objects with smooth shading turned on, but in your case this also serves as a solution.
Add the Weighted Normal modifier from the Modifier Stack / Modify
section. This should immediately fix your problem, even though a warning is printed at the bottom of the modifier:

I have also increased the number of subdivisions and turned off Cavity from the Shading popover menu for clarity's sake. The warning itself might be interesting for you as well: It says that AutoSmooth
should be enabled for this modifier to expose its full power. Once you do that here:

...your model should look even more refined:

But the best part is this: If you only use AutoSmooth
without the Weighted Normals Modifier, you get entirely sharp edges:

So, depending on the look you're going for, choose your way to go.
