You sound like you've been using an entirely different project named Kafka, because the Kafka everyone uses is renowned among message brokers for its complexity and operational overhead.

I might be, it's one of the lowest touch services we run. But we aren't doing the "Kafka all the things" model where every single little app is hooked into it for generic message passing but simply logs go in, logs go out, nothing else.

The business logic message passing goes through Rabbit because we wanted out of order processing, priority routing, retry queues, blah blah.
