Hello If NiFi is providing you all that you need then you do not need to use Kafka. However, Kafka offers an important capability in a broad enterprise requirement sense and that is the provision of a highly durable and replayable buffer of insertion ordered data for efficient access.
Less is often more so use as little tooling as you can and add based on true need.
