Judging from the photo, you have a recent vintage 9-speed MTB rear
derailleur. If so, all you need to convert to 9 speed indexing is a 9
speed right hand shifter. In Shimano world, 8 and 9 speed MTB rear
derailleurs are compatible with road shifters 8-10 speed. 10 speed MTB
rear derailleur changed the cable pull and needs a TanPan device to make
the cable pull compatible. And if you're running 8, no need to get into
the additional complexities and nuances of 11.

I wanted 8 speed in order to have non fiddly friction shifting. I
heard that wear may be an issue with the lower end 8 speed cassette
and if that’s true I may try to convert to 9 speed indexing, although
that may mean sourcing a long cage road derailleur.
