If a Pokemon has ever been in Scarlet or Violet, does that mean they can never enter Sword, Shield, Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl through HOME?

Best answer

Yes, they can enter the Gen 8 games.
I already know that SV Pokémon can enter SwSh by personal experience, and according to Nintendo,

A Pokémon that you caught in Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet can be moved to Pokémon Sword, Pokémon Shield, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
But please note that you can only move Pokémon to games that they’ve appeared in.

So yes, Pokémon from SV can enter the Gen 8 games.
