Is there a GCP offering that isn't just Confluent Cloud billed via Google?

You can use Pub/Sub Lite: https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/lite/docs

With a Kafka compatibility shim: https://github.com/googleapis/java-pubsublite-kafka

Disclaimer: I work on GCP.

You can get managed Kafka on Aiven (disclaimer: I work there) on GCP, either through the marketplace or directly through Aiven.
