As someone whose current team process is Kanban and a previous team were also, tech debt like this still inevitably piles up. Sure maybe you can squeeze some time in but even getting a week to spend solely on cleanup is rare, if it comes up at all.

The distinction I’m talking about is marking the feature milestone for deployment but not counting the feature as done until the toggle is dispensed with. Either removed, or declared a configuration we intend to keep indefinitely.
Admittedly, there’s still a gap there where a toggle may be needed until the end of an initiative (an Epic in Scrum terms) but that’s going to be at least an order of magnitude, and likely 2 orders, fewer toggles to deal with.
When the order of magnitude changes so does the solution.
