Right, the problem in this case is that restoring ACLs to a correct configuration does not fix the problem, because the internal topics remains in a bad state. For instance: 1) user sets insufficient cluster level ACLs (now brokers are not able to communicate) 2) user consumes for the first time, consumer_offsets gets created 3) user sets correct ACLs (now brokers are able to communicate) 4) it is still impossible to consume because consumer_offsets is in a bad state
I agree that when broker ACLs are configured incorrectly, a lot of things fail. However, when ACLs are set back correctly we should expect things to work normally. This does not happen for consumers at the moment. This is why I believe that the source of inconsistency is in consumer_offsets creation here, it shouldn’t be created if we know that subsequent requests will fail.
