I agree my comment may be a knee-jerk reaction, and it is quite a good technical article with clear examples.

I also agree that the open source tech used in this solution is very powerful and it is great we are at a point where a solution like this could exist. I love avro schema registries and kafka just as much as the next guy.

So question: is there a good reason to use Avro over protobufs?

Just from a hand wavy aesthetic perspective I like protobufs but I'd like to get a clear picture.
