Can the RTX 3090 24 GB run Lumina Image 2.0?
Yes. 16-bit fits on the RTX 3090 24 GB with 17.0 GB to spare.
16-bit (5.2 GB) needs about 7.0 GB in use, so 17.0 GB of the 24 GB stays free: room for a larger image, a LoRA or a ControlNet.

04About the RTX 3090 24 GB
The RTX 3090 24 GB (Ampere) has no FP8 compute. FP8 files still load and save memory, but ComfyUI converts them back before the maths, so there is no speed gain - Q8_0 GGUF is the closer-to-original 8-bit choice. ComfyUI can compute INT8 files natively on NVIDIA, which is worth a try where a model offers one.
