It's hard to imagine a more transmissible covid variant for a layman such as myself. I wonder if microbiologists are able to model the maximum theoretical transmission Sars covid is capable of.

I don't think we can model it accurately, but we can look to other viruses as examples. The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant is still only about half as contagious as measles.
