Yes, in two ways. First - kPow also stores all telemetry in internal topics (and also keeps an audit-log in another topic for data governance). Setting up multi-cluster is fairly easy and kPow stores data in the first configured cluster - so like Confluent's suggestion you could have a dedicated kPow cluster. We really only recommend this if/when you get up to a large number of connected Kafka resources (Cluster, Schema, or Connect) and/or you have cluster/s that are very busy with other work. Second - from v85 (next week) our v3 compute engine make kPow monitoring functionally independent of topic load / performance of the underlying cluster. We do still persist to internal topics for recovery, etc, but live stats and control are only dependent on your Kafka cluster responding to AdminClient requests (a handful every minute). If you would like a trial license or guided tour, just say.
