Let
$$a=1,b=\sqrt[8]{\frac{1}{2}}, c=\sqrt[8]{2-\frac{1}{2}}$$
Than $a^8+b^8+c^8=3$ and
$$
\frac{a^2}{b}+\frac{b^2}{c}+\frac{c^2}{a}\approx 2.9965288195820197
$$
As shown here the inequality
$$
\frac{a^2}{b}+\frac{b^2}{c}+\frac{c^2}{a}=2^{\frac{1}{x}}+6^{\frac{1}{x}}+\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^{\frac{2}{x}}<3
$$
is always true for $x>7$. So
$$
a=1, b=2^{-\frac{1}{n}}, c=\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{n}}
$$
are a counterexample for any $n \ge 8$
For $n=7$ we can choose
$$
a=1, b=\sqrt[7]{\frac{3}{4}}, c=\sqrt[7]{\frac{5}{4}}
$$
and we have
$$
\frac{a^2}{b}+\frac{b^2}{c}+\frac{c^2}{a}\approx 2.9999784302204775
$$
(similarly as above this leads to a counterexample for $n \ge 7$, see here )
