You might have better luck with Strimzi if you want to have LoadBalancer or Ingress resources.

Direct links to docs - https://strimzi.io/docs/operators/latest/overview.html#configuration-points-broker_str

Yes, these charts can be used, but they don't currently offer such a feature, and are no longer supported, so PR to add such a feature might not be approved.

The Confluent operator is where Kubernetes features are being added. https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kubernetes-examples/tree/master/networking/external-access-load-balancer-deploy

But this will require a license after 30 days
