I am using the STM32H745i_DISCO board. I can't seem to get TIM8 to output on PK0. I sure the GPIO is be setup correctly, but there must be something in one of the TIM8 registers. I am attempting to use TIM8 to adjust the brightness on the LCD screen, but again can't seem make the timer output anything. I can see activity within the Timer8 upon debug. The counter register is working.

This only starts the timer, not the PWM output. Should be calling HAL_TIM_PWM_Start to start the PWM signal on a channel.
See an example here:

In terms of registers content, TIM8_CCER.CC3E is zero. Presumably, the function @TDK mentioned above, would set it.
Interestingly TIM8_BDTR.MOE=1. Obviously, I don't use Cube/HAL.
