We use this exact setup (debezium to kafka), on AWS RDS Aurora. It works well but has major drawbacks: for example AWS doesn’t let you do major postgresql updates if you have a live replication slot, so you have to go through a dance of deleting and recreating replication slots and kafka connectors, which also means stopping all writes to the DB, which means a whole lot of downtime
