Sounds great, but I'll wait until Aphyr has done his worst to prove that it doesn't work.

Or that Aphyr can do his best to help us improve what's built on a strong foundation of sound design, has gone through years of thinking and review by the broader Kafka community, and has been through months of testing.

Aphyr has a distinguished track record of breaking things that have gone through "years of thinking and review" and "months of testing". I'll trust his analysis over anyone else.

Personally, I would welcome Aphyr trying to break the Kafka EOS guarantees. Like all software, there will be bugs, and the exposure will only make it stronger and more viable.

I write as one of the implementors of exactly once guarantees in Kafka.
