There does seem to be evidence that many people whoa re infected don't pass on the virus but also that certain people, or certain people in certain situations or locations, can pass it on to a lot of people. Hence the k number may be as important as R0.

There's some more on data in this FT piece, I think the Covid stuff is still non-paywalled but apologies if not.

The key example given here though:

Superspreaders cause a disproportionate number of cases
73
People infected in Hong Kong by one superspreader

10-20%
of those infected account for the vast majority of transmissions

50
People infected in Seoul’s bars by one person
