Contact shadows are an advanced feature that consists in a very subtle effect.
You can not just expect a change simply by switching ON/OFF contact shadows.

You need to configure default shadow to see it and contact shadows settings, too like in this example.
Contact_Shadows.blend

Currently, basis is working. There are still other settings waiting for implementation to obtain a perfect result.

Thank you for the report. Currently we are aware of many issues in 2.8 and actively working to fix them. But since replying to reports takes time, we have decided to limit bug reports to module team members.
