That depends on the scale and other particulars that are only shared/known inside the company.
In my experience, beyond a certain scale it simply doesn't make any sense to use managed services anymore. There is a high initial upfront cost in development hours and hardware that is amortized over a very long time after, and this upfront cost is partially paid for by the reduced cloud bill.

(although I have no experience to say how much time this actually saves you) Managed Kafka costing 2x the cost of EC2 infrastructure? Probably not worth it.
