I was planning to route 8" vent duct up in the kitchen ceiling along with the same direction of floor joists to exterior wall of second floor of my house.

At the end of run, there is a 2x10 rim joist which caps the floor joists. Is it structurely safe to cut 8" opening on rim joist for vent duct??
