> Do you reject Kafka because it runs on the JVM?

Nothing is outright rejected because it runs on the JVM, but it is a detracting quality, adding complexity. If Kafka is clearly the best solution available for your problem, you'll suck it up and the use JVM, but if there is another approach that will also serve your needs without a JVM dependence then the choice is easy.
