Apache Pulsar is hardly an ideal comparison in this context, considering that Pulsar requires ZooKeeper and Apache BookKeeper (which also requires ZooKeeper).

One of the benefits of the Kafka rearchitecture effort is to allow Kafka to "scale down" to run without external dependencies. Using Pulsar would add more dependencies.

As I know, Pulsar community is doing the work of removing ZooKeeper, this is a helpful link: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/projects/10

They are, but I think they have some ways to go still. BookKeeper is still on ZooKeeper, though they've abstracted the API and have added support for using Etcd instead (not sure if this is production-ready).
