Just started learning French only to find out you need a Bachelor’s in math just to count past 70.

In Swiss French we say « septante » (70) « huitante » (80) and « nonante » (90) which is better than counting by 20

Swiss French doesn't count as French (like Schwiizerdütsch isch nöd Dütsch)

A couple of articles are telling me that Belgian French speakers use sepante and nonante, but not huitante? Is that the case?

I think so, never used huitante before, but then I'm Flemish, not Walloon.
