Hi! I cannot speak for the full survey, only from observation on the mailing list and some users I have chatted to directly. I do not really know about the Kinesis Producer (don't know a specific case there), but the Kinesis Consumer seems to be used quite a bit.
Do your observations pertain to Kinesis Consumer as well, or mainly to the Kinesis Producer?
