Just use Strimzi if you're in a K8s world (disclosure used to work on Strimzi for RH, but I still think it's far better than Helm charts or fully self-managed, and far cheaper than fully managed).

Thanks! I didn't know about Strimzi!
Even though I'm a few years on from Red Hat, I still really recommend Strimzi. I think the best way to describe it is "a sorta managed Kafka". It'll make things that are hard in self-managed Kafka (like rolling upgrades) easy as.
