Pulsar seems operationally quite complex, as it has a dependency on both BookKeeper and ZooKeeper (which BK also needs). ZooKeeper is particularly notorious for being difficult. What's your experience been like?
It definitely is on the more complex side of management. That's why we partnered with Kafkaesque to do the maintenance for us. We were fine handling it ourselves but decided to outsource it as it's less critical for us than many other internal tasks.
They have an open ticket [0] to dilute zookeeper's dependance, but as far as I know it's still pending.
