I would highlight here two options:
- (1) using our provided helm chart
- (2) providing minimal
kafka.yamlthat can be applied directly
we could use "tabs" to nicely show the alternatives

I am not entirely convinced that we should add here a minimal kafka.yaml as we are describing how to install the Helm chart that we are providing for kafka. Perhaps in some other place we could add this minimal kafka setup but I am not sure if it adds much given that we have the Chart and users can refer to the more details strimzi setup that I linked in the docs, IMHO.

Would be good to sync with @agrski about what purpose he's seen this Helm chart to serve.
I see it as nice convenience around customizing Strimzi Kafka install for dev / testing setup.
I would probably lean towards directing users to use Strimzi directly if they do in-cluster Kafka with guidance from our side limited to what configuration options are relevant to use it with Core V2 pipelines.
I see value from providing Helm chart and adding some notes how it can be used for creating Kafka cluster but would not want us to be seen as authority on how to configure production Kafka clusters.

maybe we can add a note at the top of this file to say it is for SCv2 dev purposes and refer to strimzi docs for details?
