In Windows, when I look at the properties/details of HEIC format photos taken by my iPhone 8, I can see a lot of info including the camera model and image taken date, both of which I need for organizing my photos. See attached screenshot.

When I list all tags for these files in ExifTool, I don't see those tags. I just see the short list of tags pasted below. Any idea what might be going on?

exiftool -short -groupnames test.heic

Your exiftool version is too old. Support for HEIC images was added to later versions. Update to current version.

Good catch.  That version is over 2 years old.  And the funny thing is:
Sept. 28, 2017 - Version 10.62
    Added preliminary support for HEIC/HEIF images

So close, yet so far.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).
