> The big argument against kafka-delta-ingest was Apache Kafka. If an organization has Kafka for other reasons, then kafka-delta-ingest can be a useful “sidecar” process to persist data flowing through Kafka. If however the organization is running Kafka just for ingestion, there are cheaper options available. As the organization evolved, the other consumers of Kafka drifted away, driving the value proposition of kafka-delta-ingest lower and lower.

Sounds like how most of Kafka stories end.
