Starting off with the slide that says "simple at first" is an accurate assessment of Kafka as well...

Beware of message formats. Usually the one you use first will stick around forever.

Also, leader for each partition is responsible for all reads and writes. The higher the replication factor for a topic, the greater the load on the leaders.

It's probably worth mentioning that messaging systems (like Kafka) don't just do message transportation - they also provide buffering so that producers and consumers don't have to operate synchronously.
