Geth private network return error "invalid opcode: SELFBALANCE" when executing a simple contract

Question

I setup a simple Geth (v1.10.2-stable-97d11b01) private network (genesis.json config below). I compiled and deployed this simple test contract (solidity version: 0.8.4+commit.c7e474f2.Emscripten.clang):

// SPDX-License-Identifier: UNLICENSED;
pragma solidity >=0.8;

contract CoinA {
    
    bytes32 public coinName = "FAKE";

    mapping (address => uint) public balances;

    function transfer(address receiver, uint amount) public {
        require(balances[msg.sender] >= amount, "Not enough amount");
        
        balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
        balances[receiver] += amount;
    }

    function set(uint amount) public {
        require(amount >= 0);
        balances[msg.sender] = amount;
    }

    function get() view public returns (uint) {
        return balances[msg.sender];
    }

}

However, upon invoking the set method, I received this error:

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Returned error: invalid opcode: SELFBALANCE

Please advice on how to fix this. Is it because the server doesn't have latest feature that support that opcode? Is there anyway I can compile the code without using that opcode?

I invoked it using Web3JS on Node if it's relevant:

    async function setCoin() {
        const contract = new w3.eth.Contract(abi, coinAddr);
        const query = contract.methods.set(1000);

        const tx: TransactionConfig = {
            data: query.encodeABI(),
            from: accPublicKey,
        };
        const gas = await w3.eth.estimateGas(tx);
        console.log("Estimate Gas: " + gas);
        tx.gas = gas;

        const signedTx = await w3.eth.accounts.signTransaction(tx, accPrivateKey);
        const result = await w3.eth.sendSignedTransaction(signedTx.rawTransaction);

        console.log("Done. Gas used: " + result.gasUsed);
    }

genesis.json config:

The selfbalance opcode was implemented in the Istanbul chain fork (source).

You need to allow the fork in your genesis.json

{
  "config": {
    "istanbulBlock": 0,
